Welcome to the board Sopha, please remove the full date of birth as it is not adviseable to put it on this open board and may lead to your post being reported.

I can see a Victor in 2005/2006 Margate and Eastbourne on electoral rolls, guessing he might be in construction industry or similar as both addresses seem to be HMOs?

Do you think he might have returned to Ireland?

Welcome to the boards Sopha - To protect his privacy and to guard against idenitiy theft, you could edit your opening post to leave on the year of his birth please?
Have you 'lost contact' with him, or is he believed to be a birth father? If so, would he know about the child?

Have you used the Search all members trees on this site to see if anyone else has him listed? If he is, send the tree owner a message using the Find out more button.

The Margate address was a hotel - was he believed to be living there or a member of staff?
The Eastbourne address was a house of multiple occupancy. If you haven't already. you could write to the owner/occupiers to ask what other information they might have about him. Mind you, after 10 years, they may find it hard to even remember him.

Not seeing an ER entry for him in Bristol - when was he believed have lived there?

A very long shot that the child in the photo at this link is the right one, place and possible age? ( communion age 7?)

Nothing coming up since the 2011 electoral roll, that house has been sold since then unfortunately.

Nothing on probate records either.

Would it be worth writing to the neighbours? Even if they don't know where that particular Victor D Walsh moved to, they might be able to say if he had an Irish accent.
One way or another, it could be useful even if only to eliminate the entry.

Only other thing I can think of is, if you think Victor may have attended the local RC church you could try contacting the priest there?

Saint Patrick's Catholic Church is 1.21 Kilometers away from last address

http://www.saintpatricks.co.uk/

Edit. I see the parish priest has been there since 1988, so may know the locals well.

The last time I saw Victor was about 36 years ago but I know he visited a relative a few years after that.
