I just found out that my dad fathered a child with a woman in London before he met my mother. The only information I know is the mother's name and the month and year of birth of the child. It's very little to go on, but I feel that there should be some way to locate her. I would appreciate any help!

You should be able to find a birth using the year and mothers surname

But it's a very delicate road you are treading on I think.

You may like to locate her but her family may not want that . It depends on the circumstances at the time she was born

You're right, Shirley. I realize that she may not want anything to do with my dad or me, but I'll never know if I don't try. My dad would like to meet her before he dies, and I would like to meet my only sibling.

Yes, I have PM'd Prickles. Nothing that seems to match so far, though.
