I have been told today that Harold Wakefield was my birth father and I have written proof to back that up , as I have never heard his name before you can understand how much I want to learn about him thank you :-)

I guessed as much..........

Unfortunately, his abode at the time of your conception is no real indicator of where he was born.

You could have looked yourself for birth info, using freebmd

http://www.freebmd.org.uk

Have you used GR's 'search all trees' facility?

Do you know if he was aware of your existence?
