Melody
You need a copy of his birth cert. Unfortunately, the surnames are too common to pinpoint possible parents for Dennis

On the sweeping assumption that he lived all his life in Birmingham (based on the above death) there's a marriage in 1957 , and also either a remarriage - or else a marriage for a completely different Dennis T Smith - in 1976, to a woman using the surname Smith as well as (presumably) her maiden name .

The 1976 marriage fits with the name Joan given by Melody Joy in her "Find Ancestors" thread.

Dennis Smith b. Birmingham 1938 is in a GR tree..........get in touch with the 'owner' with a very carefully-worded message. Don't mention that you think he's your father ..................this sort of situation can be very upsetting

PM sent to Melody Joy to let her know how to return to this thread, to keep checking it for replies, and to advise against starting any more new ones about the same person.

To contact the owner of the GR tree which ErikaH mentions -

go to "Search all member trees", under "Search" at top right of this page, and enter his name , year of birth, and birthplace.

You'll see two results - one is your own tree, and other is the person to contact.
Click on "Find out more" beside the person's name and send your very careful and tactful message..
