Davids mums name was Ivy L Long married to Frederick W Long... David Long was born 1961

they no longer live at 58 rotherhithe old rd, Ivy is not longer with us

yeah thats right Bob, they are flats off of the main road. . . they no longer live there though, as chinese people are there now. There is an older guy there that knew him but didnt have much info.

Not 100% sure but 58 Rotherhite Old Road S,E.16. is a small block of flats with mainly elderly people living there. Will pass there in the next few days do you want me to ask/check it out?

Bob.

Hi Gemma

I have him still there on the 2005/6 elec roll with a Linda.

Ivy was supposedly born in 1919 for the marriage is probably before 1950. I

I don't see a birth for an Ivy L Key in 1919 though.

As David Long was born in 1961 I have just searched Marriages 1950 to 1961 for Frederick Long to Ivy Key and found nothing.

Reading back through this, it seems that you know his father was still at the same address in 2003. Do you know for sure that he has died since then? I'd write to the address, so see if he is still there, or if the people there know what happened to him. Or, if he has died, I'd get his death cert, or look to see if he left a will. His son and address might be given on either.

Thanks A, thats great you and your father be reunited, I am not expecting a great relationship just a need to know.. whatever else happens is all good.

thanks for your support!

I must bookmark this thread to find how you get on. I wish you the best of luck. I regained contact with my dad after 40 years and we have now built up a lovely relationship. Go for it and keep us posted

eh its def 58, and you said frederick w long and thats what my aunt found, so you were spot on sheila!!

Hi Gemma

What about the Fredrick Long I mentioned at number 58 ? remember you where not sure it it was 57 or 58 .....

from what I can tell he was an only child, plus both parents are deceased.

Where was he born? As he was born in 1961 one or both of his parents could still be alive. Or you could look to see if he had any siblings, and try to track one of them down.

See if you can find a death !! would either of these people have passed away ? Ivy or Fred coz that may give you a address for an area

my aunt and uncle went to the library today and found out his DOB 28.05.1961 and his mothers name was Ivy L Long & Father - Frederick W Long..

what does anyone suggest I do next?

hi carol, i paid 20 pounds for them to trace with just the name david long and an address and they didnt find one person!! i might try them again as soon as i can narrow down more info. thanks

Hiya

Two ways you might be able to find him have you tried www.bt.com there is a d long listed living in SE17 which is local to that area and some others listed worth a try also there is a site called 1stlocate you can do a weeks research for very little it helped me locate a half sister for a friend.Good luck hope you find him.
