Find Living Relatives

Thanks for that ill take a look at your suggestions we have looked on forces reunited and contacted the court before who needed a reference number from Alan's mothers said they got lost in a move. Alan has also written to all 6 Malcolm Martin on 192.com and had two replies that it's not the same Malcolm Martin he is looking for.

Irene,

If you look on FreeBMD there are 2 births that fit. My money's on the one that was born down south in the military/navy town.

Then look at 192.com. There's one still in the area.

I wonder if there is any way of tracing info around court orders/maintenance? Assuming it was done officially. I haven't a clue if this is a possibility, it's just a thought.
Has Alan tried Reggie's suggestion re. Forces Reunited?

There seems to be a veterans' forum:

no to both :(
its such a shame...Alan's dad must have cared to have paid maintenance for all those years...he doesn't want to cause any upset..would just like to know who his father is he's wanted to find him for a while but the lack of information given to him is proving difficult

Is he on Alan's birth cert, and did he marry Alan's mother? Just asking as this might give him more clues.
Jan

yes he does know and paid maintenance for him for a 15 years..its just that his mother has with held any information she has for him ..just the details i have given here..if you could help it would be much appreciated kind regards Irene

I think this one should be left well alone..........too much potential for distress

Irene,

Why are you looking for him? Does he know about his son?

I'm reluctant to provide more information because his current family might be unaware.

Rose

Thanks all have no date of birth or place he was born only know about marines and no I am not a relative ok regards folks

Irene,

There are 2 possible births:

Another thread here that says he was 19 or 20 in 1974.

The above cannot be him if he left forces in 1992 can it!

How is he related to you?
