Member Since: July 2010 Posts: 10 Send Message	Hi there would anyone be able to help me to find/locate my father Gordon Joseph McCallum born I believe in May 1951 in Glasgow, I believe he spent most of his 30's in Hastings East Sussex, and more recently ran a pub near Lewes, I did hear that he may have also spent some time in Bristol. Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks :-)

	Hi Mark, Does he know about you? Have you tried 192.com? Rose

	He appeared to be running the pub in 2009 (licence applied for, but pub now closed?) Still in area? Ask the locals? Contact the landlords?

Member Since: July 2010 Posts: 10 Send Message	Hi Rose thank you for your message. Yes he does know about me but unfortunately i have not seen him since I was 7, but as I understand it he was trying to locate and contact me when I was a teenager. I managed to contact his second wife who kindly sent me a photo of him when he was probably in his 30's, we look very alike. My cousin helped me to search for him for a while and she located that he had been running a public house near lewes up until last year, unfortunately we missed him by a few months! and my search has come to a halt. I am now married with my own children and if possible I would very much like to locate him and hopefully contact him. Do you have any information that you think might be helpful? I would be very grateful. regards Mark

	Does he have children with his 2nd wife? Would they know where he is? Rose

	What's his link to Sussex? Did he move to Bristol for several years and then return? Rose

Member Since: July 2010 Posts: 10 Send Message	Hi I am not too sure about Bristol, when I spoke to the landlords last year of the public house he used to run near Lewes they mentioned that they thought he may have gone back to Bristol. Unfortunately it all a bit vague at the moment! He was in Hastings throughout the 80's I believe, mainly Hastings and then Bexhill for a while. Regards Mark
