Here's hoping that manged to 'click' with each other - it must have been strange meeting your father as adult to adults. You could submit your story to the 'Success' board.

Out of interest - Were the Preston addresses red herrings, or was Nottingham a half way meeting point?

The last time i saw him was in Dover in 1974 and yes i suppose a phone call out of the blue maybe not the way to go about things but wrote 20 to 30 letters 2 yrs ago no reply may be he wants to be left alone x

Its far better to write - it gives people the opportunity to consider their reply.

It's always possible that your Dad hasn't told his current partner about you; If he were to answer the phone within his partners hearing, he might well deny that he is related.

When did you last have contact and where was he then?

Looks like he was in Preston 2003-2004 according to 192.com
