One possible entry in a GR tree.

BUT........please be very careful what you say if you consider trying to make contact, as any current family may be distressed by learning about you

So as he was 23 when you were born you can estimate his birth year

Looking on freebmd there’s one possible born Islington

Seems really you need the help of a professional though

Have you done a Dna ,that may find some family connection

Yes he was aware and only know this through because I have traced my birth mother who does not wish to meet me. She kindly sent me info of my fathers name and details on how kind a person he was and helped pay towards her stay at Beechwood.

They met in a company and he worked extra hours to afford helping her.
