hi my name is Adrian .
lafford im looking for any living relatives in or around madeley staffs :-)

Welcome to the boards Adrian, first step if you haven't done so is to search trees on here (top right of page) using the names of any relatives you know of already.

Is this your dad?

I don't see a marriage for his parents but there is a brother born in 1930.

Here it is:

Marriages Dec 1926

There are some trees on Ancestry with these names.

It is obvious that Adrian is a new member and he has clearly stated that he is new to all this.

I find your post quite patronising and if i was a new member.......it would most certainly put me off from asking for further help on the boards.
