If David was adopted we cannot find his adoptive name. Have you added your own name to the gov. Adoption register. That way your details would be passed to him if he goes looking for you.

Not in any GR trees other than yours, so no-one else on here is connected

You have TWO previous threads about this topic.

All the advice given in your two previous requests ( nudged up) remain the same. The law on allowing people to trace an adoptive name has not changed.

Not all members have their tree on this site so to say 'no-one else on here is connected' is nonsense.

You were given the link to the adoption contact register four years ago...........did you follow-up on it?

If anyone on here was connected, and interested in making contact, one would have thought you would have heard from them at some stage during the last four years

That third thread above (1370172) contains a message from the brother Keith.
As you are now asking only about David, does that mean you have made contact with Keith?

Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
