To find out if anyone else is researching this family have you tried "Search All Trees" under the Search button above?

You can put the names of the family in and see if anyone else has them.

If you find a possible match you can contact the tree owner to see if you have a connection.

I would suggest that you delete the automatic message about looking at their tree. Most members will not open their trees to you until a connection has been established so just type your own message about who you think you may have in common.

Are you trying to find Charles?

Try 192.com.

He married a Joan Ormston in the 50s.

There appear to be 3 children to the Shield/Ormston marriage.
One of them may be a member of genes.
Suggest you use search all trees looking for Charles R Shield, as R seems to be Rogan in her tree.

Use freebmd to find offspring......there is one on there.

Follow up on that.........

Get credits for 192, and find the 2009 address. Write to it...................he may still be there, or if not, the current occupants may know where he moved to

He may simply have witheld his details from the public ER

It does'nt look like he is still at that address as there is another couple living there now.

Maybe an idea to send a message to Karen who has Charles R Shield in her tree as mentioned above, she could be his daughter

Unknown,
This is the Find Living Relatives board, and I think John Hesp born in 1777, should be on the Ancestors board.
Some helpers do not use the Living Relatives board so you would do better to start the request over there.
If you could say how you got back to him that would be useful, and also where you have looked.
Thanks.
