some older people on here might ask you to find derek and ask him for help. will look in my old messages and find his surname for u to message him. have you tried writing to the local council, when he moved out of the flat i am presuming it was council, he has to leave a forwarding address with them, or if he is still in council property they will forward a letter on to him. good luck,

i have 5 david long on a uk search disc in london does he have a middle name, i need to look at the county he lived in, southwark is no good. with you saying surrey docks am i right in saying surrey, i no good with areas.

give me exact area he lived in.

i have a old uk search disc for a fred c long and a ivy k long living on holland rd london, there is a phone number is this possibly davids parents , if so fred might have kept the phone number if he has moved on, only quickly looked at thread and getting bit confused in the few mins reading it. i think council contact is best bet.

what area did he live in i need a county southwark is no good to me on my disc. reading through dont think that fred and ivy i found living together on old disc is right one and different middle names.

the address is: Rotherhithe Old Road, Southwark, London, SE16 2qd, dont know what else this comes under, but it is near camberwell, surrey quays is a train stop near there - see link below

I also emailed the council and did not get a reply

Hi Gemma

I have an old BT CD from about 1994 and there is a FWJ Long at that address. There is also this death which could be possible match (it is the only one which fits all three initials):
Frederick William J Long 25 Aug 1913 Jul 2004 90 Lewisham London

This is probably the matching birth

Hi Gemma

You could try looking at old newspapers to see if there were any announcements from family on that death of FWJ Long. The other thing that it might be worth doing is to look at the probate information held in Holborn which, if he left a will, should tell you who the executors were and if you got a copy of the will it might give some other clues. A copy of a will costs £5 I think.

thanks for the info, i have sent them an email

Their is this birth:

1961 AMJ
Long David B
mmn Bryan
Bermondsey 5c 51

and this one possibly for his mother:

Births Dec 1919 (>99%)
Bryan Ivy L Johnson St. Olave 1d 372

Could be a coincidence, have you found the marriage for Davids parents?

Regards
LfW

Bingo!!!

Marriage:
1938 AMJ Bryan Ivy L - Long Frederick W J - Bermondsey 1d 260
