Please remove his exact DOB....invasion of privacy

Did he and your mother divorce?

Do you know where he was born?

I take it your mother's maiden name was Fyfe?

My Mum and Dad divorced but mum has no address or anyway of helping me contacting him. Yes my mums maiden name was Fyfe.

Presumably you have looked for him using 192.com?

I cannot see his birth on ancestry bmd - do you know where it was?

Thank-you

It's quite an unusual name - have you tried 192.com? There are a few on there.
Have you got access to your parents' marriage cert? It might help to pin down his birthplace and his parents' names.

I shall try 192.com thank you. Ive no access to their marriage certificate but have got my adoption papers on there way. I presume he was born in Lincoln, I know thats where his Mum is buried. thank you :)

Well, there is no Paul N. Boden birth anywhere in England/Wales as far as I can see (apart from 1963 and I am sure it isn't that one!). Hopefully your adoption records will hold some more clues.
Good luck - come back anytime if you want to.

There are NO Boden/Brocklesby births on Ancestry...........

You may have to consider that Paul was not Lily's natural child

You need to buy the cert of his marriage to your mother

I find it odd that you refer to speaking to your 'mum', as though she is Paul's ex-wife.............yet say that you were adopted

After asking more questions, Paul wasnt Lilys natural son :(

Sarajane

Sarajane Report 30 Dec 2012 14:50

My mum remarried my step dad who adopted me, which means my Mum also had to adopt me. Also means Paul lost all rights into contacting me :(

There is a possible re-marriage in 1984 - and this lady is now in Mansfield on 192.com along with her daughter. I'll pm her details but stress this may not be his second wife.

patchem

patchem Report 30 Dec 2012 15:51

There is also a marriage in 1999 in Mansfield (Barbara J)
The 1984 is Irma V.
You might need to apply for your Mother's marriage certificate, and those of the other 2 marriages, to check if either is your Father.

There are also Paul N Boden's in Scotland on 192.com

Added:
Irma appears to be Irma Boden-Lewis on 192.com.

Your 'mother's own adoption' papers won't tell you any more than your mother can.

This man was obviously not called Paul N Boden when he was born

After some searching ive managed to locate Irma Boden- Lewis and Cheverne her daughter and my father was married to Irma but divorced over 20yrs ago according to Cheverne. Not sure where to look now :-(

patchem Report 16 Mar 2013 00:05

As he divorced over 20 years ago, could the marriage in 1999. Mansfield, also be him?
If so, with a Barbara J on 192.com?

(Both on 2002 Sutton in Ashfield)

There were a Paul N and Barbara J in Brechin, Angus, in 2007, (years way out, error?) but she appears on her own in later years.
She is in facebook.
