I do have his identity card can I learn anything from that ? I do know who his mother was, but not his father. Julie

	Hi Julie I'm presuming your dad is no longer with us, in which case have you checked his death cert for a birth date and still can't find the info? If you know his mum's name can you find a marriage for her to someone of your dad's surname - this might give you a start if he 'lied' about his age for some reason. Regards Looby
