What you have put on FLR is fine, you may want to add roughly how old he might have been when he lived in Bexley? and if he had a specific occupation, and whether he may have been born there.

Hi Julie, if you have a look at the advice at the top of the Find living relatives board, it tells you briefly what you shouldn't put, for instance re date of birth.... quarter or month and year is ok, but not the exact date. No current addresses or email addresses should be posted, and no 'un-necessary' comments about a person's behaviour in the past
:-)

If you post something that shouldn't be on an open board ( all info posted here can be found via google) then someone will tell you and ask you to edit it out :-)

Researching:
I am researching the Wotherspoon family from the Old/New Monkland areas of Scotland, some moved to the Leslie and Kelty areas of Fife and I'm having problems linking the Wotherspoon's from Leslie and the Wotherspoon's from Kelty. I am also researching the Clusker family from Co. Meath in Ireland who moved to West Lothian and from there to Fife............"Vita non est vivere sed valere vita est"

Depends whether it's a living person or ancestor. So either "Find Living Relatives" or "Find Ancestors"
