And I've checked loads of message boards, ancestry, friends reunited, lookup, 192 and with the info I have its very difficult to trace someone who's been adopted

Yes all my details are registered with the general register office and I don't actually know for sure he isn't at the same address he registered with in 2008 and I do not know his real adopted name to be true it could have been different to what ive been told as alot of people back in them days the 60s changed the names so its very tricky to check electoral rolls and as I'm still waiting a reply as to whether he still resides there but seems likely he's not there as its been a while and haven't heard anything as they said they will notify me immediately if they receive a response from him

On another site you say he's moved from the address he listed in 2008. Do you have that address? You should be able to see who was living there from 192.com or a local library.

I am looking for my brother who was adopted I believe in 1968. His Birth name was DARREN LEWIS PALMER and he was born on the 3RD DECEMBER 1967. From what my mum has told me he was adopted by a couple with the surname Holland who lived in Streatham and had four/five girls.
Apparently he was registered on the GRO adoption site as wishing to make contact in 2008. I have been looking for him for over 30 years now, if anyone may know him or if your D.O.B is 3rd December 1967 and you were adopted please reply

Thanks Sara
