Thank you! I did indeed - your website has helped connect a brother and sister after 50+ years. One didn’t know the other existed and the other did but was thrown off course and had all but given up. Because of you, they now have a connection I couldn’t have dreamt of and my husband has finally got some answers to a life time of questions. Thank you! |

It might also be worth sending a letter to some of the houses close to the address in case anyone there were close friends of Tina and are still in touch with her. |

To add to Kath’s suggestion, I would advise putting your name and address on the outside of the envelope, in the hope that the recipient doesn’t simply bin it. |

You could write a letter to the new occupants of the 2014 address as they could possibly have a forwarding address - although it would be a long shot. Make sure you include a stamped addressed envelope as you are more likely to get a reply if you do. |

The 2014 address in Mansfield was sold in 2014. |

Thank you everyone, John did pass away in 2015 and I have since spoken with his stepson. He assumed a different surname, Brown in the late 1970's hence making it almost impossible to find him. It has been quite upsetting to find out that John returned to Mansfield and during the 1990's he lived two doors down from my sister-in-law who I would have been visiting unbeknown to me that my father lived that close. It seems our paths have crossed many times during those years and we have never met. John married a lady called Denise Elliott in 1978 and had another daughter, Tina Sarah Brown later that year. I have struggled to locate Tina as with a surname of Brown there are quite a few on SM. I know she was on the electoral roll 2011-2014 but then I believe she moved and has not shown since. I do know she has a son who will be around 15 years old now and I am led to believe she is still in the Mansfield area. I have ordered John and Denise's wedding certificate to get more information on Denise as that may be the only way to find Sarah. |

I received a pm from Brenda this morning asking me to send a message to Linda for her. I did this and Linda replied asking me to reply to Brenda. I told Linda how to contact Brenda through Genes and she has just replied to say she has done this so now it's up to Brenda if she wants to reply to Linda. |
