When did you last have contact?

You have included Paul in your GR tree - how did you manage to obtain his permission?

Is Paul an only child?

The woman who died in 2010 had been at the address since at least 2002

A seemingly-unrelated male at the same address in 2002-3

Paul is an only child. Sheila remarried after Dennis died. I not sure if Sheila & Nathan had any children together they married in 1987. the picture attached sadly isn't them. Sheila and Dennis married in 1966 in Islington. The last time we saw Paul and Sheila was at my sister Frances wedding which was 18th July 1987. I already have his birth details from my searches thank you. they used to live at 10 Hathaway Road. our family would love to find out more or them.

Trying to track down Sheila's family might be the way to go. Get her marriage certificate to see when she was born and who her father was.

What was Sheila's surname when you saw her in 1987?

The marriage to Nathan was in Feb 1987, per Ancestry's transcription, so if that's correct, presumably she was Hasan - unless they'd parted very quickly.

IF, and I stress IF, the marriage was the right woman, presumably her husband would have accompanied her to the wedding?????

Ellen doesn't say he wasn't there!

In 2004, there were people named Hasan at the address Ellen mentions - and it looks as if at least one of those people was at another address in the same town in 2010.
However, not a Sheila nor a Nathan. Maybe they'd opted out of the public ER.

The address she mentions was sold in 2014, according to Rightmove and Soldhouseprices.

True, but one would have thought she'd have been more certain of Sheila's name if he had been there.

The name of the man who married 'A' Sheila M Taylor in 1987 probably occurs on the ER 2016/7 living with another female with whom he has a number of children

As Paul was only 3 years old when his father died, it may be that - IF his mother re-married - her husband adopted him and his surname changed
