I am trying to find relatives of my father Herbert Edward Williams who was born around 1924/25, I believe he passed away in early 1990's. We used to live in Etruria, Staffordshire 1958-60 but he disappeared and my mother took us to live in Dagenham, Essex, divorcing him in the 60s. I have had no contact with that side of the family at all as I was only 8yrs old when we left Etruria. I believe he possibly re-married. As far as I know he had 2 brothers Harry and Stephen. His parents used to live in Newcastle-under-Lyme. Can anyone help me at all?

You need to find out his actual DOB.........then a search for his death will stand more chance of finding the right record.

The death cert may hold info which is helpful to you....the informant may have been a relative
