Find Living Relatives

Looking for a J Cartwright born 1957 to Winifred Cartwright he was placed with family
to bring up so could of had his name changed last know whereabouts is ellesmereport
cheshire
thanks

His birth doesn’t indicate adopted

If you know he was placed with a family member try looking for their info

I agree with Shirley, if John was placed with family you need to research Winifreds family and contact them, carefully.
If he wasn’t placed with family and was formally adopted you won’t be able to find his new name. If this is the case, depending on your relationship you may be able to add your name to the Gov. adoption register so that he can find you if he is looking.

It looks as though John was born in Cheshire and that his mother, Winifred, was named for her mother.

You say John was last heard of in Ellesmere Port, when?

Yes, the OP gave the location as Cheshire...........

John was last heard of in Ellesmere Port., the poster doesn’t say when or that he was born there.

john was my mothers child who was placed with family as she was only 16 i have only just been told this as my mum has recently passed and the family member was told to keep the secret she said he lived in ellesmere port in 2014

I am sorry for your loss and understand that you want to find your brother.
If I have the right family then Johns grandmother , Winifred Hearn, is in Gary’s tree on here - see search all members trees.

The Electoral Roll may give clues as to who John was living with in 2014, but not if he had any name change.

Are you in contact with any of your mothers family who might be willing to talk to you about this.?

only my auntie as the other family members have passed winifred hearn was my nan will check garys tree because he was placed with family they could of gave him a different name in them days it was done through courts etc thanks for your help

You can’t actually check Gary’s tree without his permission so you need to send him a message. Genes will inform him ( as long as he has kept his contact details up to date.

It is just possible that your grandparents moved to Wigan - a Winifred and aThomas of the right age both died there.

Best of luck, I do hope you find him.

thanks i have sent him a message also my nan divorced thomas and had other children to someone else she passed in little sutton in 2017

So I did have the wrong deaths.

Umm. Little Sutton did come up when I was looking around the Internet - not a nice result.
