Find Living Relatives

i have sent a message and im hoping they can help me answer some questions and i cna help them. :-)

matt try sending unknown a private message click on the name you might be lucky he is still a member and would get your message

hello im matt i believe im your cousin. the man your describing is my uncle harry.

Thank you. I will.

Give it a couple of weeks. As said earlier, the tree owners might be otherwise occupied.

You could try face book, or look for marriages for the girls. Once you've found their married names you could look on 192.com for recent listings on the ER. Although it must be difficult, try to be patient !

Can anyone advise as to where I should go from here? I have sent some messages on here to those who have his siblings on their family tree but with no joy as yet :/

Ok Christine, thank you. I'm new to this, it seems so complicated :(

Ignore the 1968 birth. There was another Jacques/Wall couple that married around that time. The child may be theirs.

Ahh yes, thank you. Found a list that matches, apart from one which has me confused, listed as born in 1968 in a different area, however according to the deaths register , Renee Wall who is the mother died in 1957?!

To find siblings use the link given above.

Select births
Surname Jacques
Mothers name Wall
Choose a year range, say from the year of marriage to 20 years later
Then search.

If there are a number of results, primarily consider the ones in the same correct area. Births reg in the first quarter of a year might be for a child born towards the end of he previous year. There are 6 weeks before a birth has to be registered.

Oh.. I see now :) thank you.

And the sisters??

Use FreeBMD:

I searched for Wall/Jacques marriages.

How did you manage to see his parents names? I don't see them on the birth register?You'll all have to forgive me, I am very new to this..

Hi Rose, thank you for this. I have no idea how to do these searches, I searched for a death and found nothing so god knows what I'm doing wrong! Looks likes his dad was called Harry then? I wonder Is there a way to find out previous addresses? Just to confirm if they did live in buttershaw, Bradford.

Nicky

Harry born in 1952 looks to have parents:

Marriages Jun 1948
Jacques Harry Wall Worth Valley 2c 78
Wall Renee Jacques Worth Valley 2c 78

and several sisters.

Looks like Renee died in 1957.

Rose

As you have found the birth for the 1952 Harry, you can then look for the marriage of his parents to see what his Father's name was.

Similarly for the 1954 birth.

Thank you for your advice detective. I would have no idea what to say if and when it came to it :/

Patchem - oh no :(

You can always check if the message has been read by looking in your 'sent messages' box on GR. An unread message has an envelope icon next to it.

Unfortunately there are a lot of dormant accounts on GR where the member has lost interest, changed their email address or are no longer in a position to reply. We are also in the holiday season now, so don't get upset if it isn't opened for a couple of weeks.

Fingers crossed that they have some information to help you, but exercise caution in what you say!

Hi, yes he does know I exist. My mum has told me he saw me once or twice when I was a baby but I'm afraid after that due to family circumstances never saw him again. I am not adopted. My mum was only 16 when I was born and doesn't remember much about him other than what I've mentioned. Only that she thinks his dad was called Harry too.
