You know the 2 children we thought were his, but needed confirmation.
I could not find them in the UK, but I found a possible in NZ one that was into music !!

Had an answer from his sister, to confirm he is in NZ but sadly has no contact data.


:-)

We are nearer, at least we have the country !!!

Saturday edition of a national newspaper, Daily Mail, has a "Missing and Found" feature.Email to [email protected] including a contact phone number. Small donation requested for employing Gill Whitley's services.

Have you thought of asking the Brighton paper to put a "trying to find" request in the paper?

Thanks Liz, I'm doing this for my friend Karen. Her sister is Tina and they have tried for years to find him. He seems to have vanished! :-S
I'll keep looking though........

If you google "The Frighteners 1965" there is some information about the production. Some members on this site have Karen and Tina in their trees. Perhaps they could help you find Harry.
Good luck,
Liz

I think I have found Henry (Harry) George James Groombridge parents as per Rose' comment. Henry Richard Groombridge born Edmonton, Middlesex 1894 and passed a way Willesden, Middlesex 1960. Married to Gertrude Hall in 1937 Kensington.
Harry married Yvonne Tucker in 1959 in Brighton then later married Diane M Cooper in 1965 in Westminster, London. Still looking for more info if anyone could help? :-S

Hi Rose, I don't know the real reason his surname is Richardson, just hunches. Its not Yvonne we are looking for but Harry Groombridge, do you know anything about him? My friend is from the first marriage so no details on the second.

Thanks,

Andy

Looking for Henry George James Groombridge, DOB June 1938 & Yvonne Elizabeth Tucker. Brighton area. Henry known as Harry and Double Bass Jazz musician. He was the bass player in the London movie "The frighteners" in 1965. He was son to Henry R Groombridge & Gertrude J Hall from Kensington area and brother to Annette Carson (nee Groombridge).

Liz, my friend and myself have tried all avenues, and find this is the last resort. Rose, the link you gave me is one of the previous attempts to find him but no joy. His mothers maiden name is Hall so you are spot on I think.
