Find Living Relatives

Anthony was born in1926 in Portsmouth, England. He may have joined his twin brothers Douglas Farrer Scott Williams and Eric Thomas Scott Williams (born in 1921 in Moore Haven, Florida) in the USA. Does anyone have any information on these, my three brothers? It is my dream to find them before it is too late.

The DOB of possible living persons is not allowed on these boards

Please amend post to show YEAR only............

When - if ever - did you last see this man?

How long have you been searching for them?

Do you share both parents with these men?

Or are they your half-brothers?

No emigration for him on FMP , but records stop at 1960

Was there also a sister Edna?

You say went to the USA but he went to Buenos Airies

Can I correct one bit of your post, Shirley

Anthony's age on the image is 10

So it fits with DOB.

And presumably, Annie was their mother...........................so she is unlikely to be the OP's mother.

OP stated that the twins were born in Florida.................

We share the same father - Herbert Farrer Williams (born 2/6/1895 and died 19/12/1950). I was told of their existance in about 1957 and have been searching for them ever since. Their mother - Annie Hilda Williams nee Saunders - was born in Chile. They returned to Chile for the funeral (date unknown) of her father - Thomas Saunders. They lived at Otway, Esther, Surrey for several years. I have not met them but have photos of the twins as children in Florida and Anthony's christening in Portsmouth.
The info you have given today is great! I came into computering late in life so my searching before that was limited. Thank you SO much for your help.
