I am hoping to find Peter Collins or family of. Lived in Woolston Road, Butlocks Heath, Southampton from 1930's onwards. Any info at all would be helpful. Thank you.

You need to give more info on the family for any help

Electoral rolls for 1930 onwards isn't online I,m afraid

Online starts from 2002 although the free electoral roll may have some earlier ones but not back to the 1930's

There were none taken during WW2 period

Peter was born 1932 approx and was living there still in 1954. My connection is a delicate matter. Paeter was the father of a child that my sister gave birth to, illegitimately in 1950. Long story...the child , also named peter feels the need to trace his father or family of. Hope you can help. :-)

Hi Rose. I don'know his parent's names but he had a brother called Gerald. Iam not sure of the house number but it would bean even number. We lived on the opposite side of the road at 25 a bit further along. Thanks for your interest. Any help is good. Peter Collins will be in his early 80's....if he is still with us. Regards, Pat

Would Gerald have been older - or younger - than Peter?

Did Peter know about the child?

Hi Rose. Ii don't know if he was younger or older than Peter. Yes, Peter knew about the child. The Collins family knew about the child. Thanks for your help.

Peter now lives one street over from Woolston Rd. Have sent you the details.

Unfortunately, his brother Gerald died.

The Charles Collins at 48 Woolston Rd in 1964 looks to be Peter's father.

I see you added Victoria but I don't see Christine. Don't forget to add where she was born.
