My husband has a sister from his fathers previous relationship, only known details are that her birth was around 1972 in Prescot, Merseyside. Name possibly Susan, she wasn't registered under his fathers name.
Can anyone give any guidance on finding her?
Fathers name was Laurence Finney, unfortunately he is now deceased and this sister only came to light after his death.

If she wasn't registered under your father-in-law's surname then unfortunately I don't think there is any way anyone on here can help to find her. You would need to know the child's mother's name, so it would only be someone who knew your father-in-law well who might be able to help.

Maybe you could write to a newspaper in the area with these details or contact a local radio station and see if they have any way of broadcasting the names you have

Good luck

was it a common-law relationship, or did your father-i-l actually marry the child's mother, even though she was not registered under his name?

Do you know if the mother was unmarried or married to someone else when she gave birth?

If the father isn't named on the birth cert then you have very little chance of finding any info I,m afraid

I'm wondering how you gained knowledge of this lady?

Did a relative inform you......do they know more?

there's a marriage of a Susan Finney in 1972 in Prescot, Lancashire

My husbands mum told him after his dad had passed away saying she didn't want to keep it secret anymore as he wasn't here. We know child support was paid and the lady actually went to school with his dads sister but the sister is also keeping names quiet. The mother of the child wasn't married at the time to our knowledge.x

seems like the sister is the best bet for info ,but if she is keeping quiet for the mums sake then you are at a stalemate for the moment

if child support was paid wouldn't your husbands mum have some knowledge of who he had an relationship with.
