Lots of the 2017 posts seem to have been deleted so did you establish who his parents were

does his fathers name match on the marriage cert

Good evening I have done alot of research into all that you have given me also another lady has been helping me. I now have his birth certificate and my mum's and his marriage certificate but I have to say he is untraceable. No1 can find him on electoral roles anywhere. I have looked on Facebook at the names I have for brothers and sisters but cannot link to him as he may not be on Facebook. I just wanted to say thank you all so much just wish I had some good news to share happy New year love Sara Jane x

The twins and R's name? They'd still be in your GR 'inbox'. If you've deleted that, then look for my name in 'My Contacts' and you can read the messages again.

You can then search for their other children using Smith + their mother's maiden name. Even if you don't pay to view, you should see enough on the preview to see if they are relevant.

Edit - sending parent's 1976 marriage in case you don't have it

Yes please can someone send them by private message as I did not save the names thank you so much x

Thank you both detective and Austin q you both have been a big help I couldn't have found any of that out without you two x

AustinQ - I've sent the twins names earlier. I'd saved them in a draft the other day, then once you'd come to the same conclusion about the births forwarded them anyway with an acknowledgement.

We've also discussed the various addresses and found out when they were last sold via an estate agent.

Sorry if I upset you Joonie- as I hadn't posted Mother's surname or the marriage, I didn't think I was invading anyone's privacy.

Info deleted Sara- I'm sure Joonie will send by private message if you need the names again.

I had all the same thoughts as AustinQ about the marriage with middle initial J and that is certainly an avenue to look at.

I would just have sent the children's names by private message ...

That set probably sounds right unless she had 2 sets of twins but I know Jamie or James wasn't a twin x
