Trying to find Joan Leadbeater

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

David Report 6 Feb 2008 14:53

Hello!

I was fostered as a child and have recently discovered my parents records.

Mother:

Joan Rebecca Leadbeater
Born 1923 to Heny Leadbeater and Mary Bell
Portsmouth (as I was also)

Father:

Charles Nestor Anderson
Born 1920 to Charles Anderson and Ward (first name unknown)

Both my parents were Brush makers and were stationed at Arborfield Garisson at the time they were married.

I suspect this is the reason I was fostered.

If there is anyone out there with knowledge of these people, especially concerning the possibilty that I might have brothers or sisters out there, could you please contact me!!

Best Regards,

-David

(update)

I forgot to mention that my birth certificate has a blank entry under father. I was given the name Anderson which I have since found to be the name of my mothers husband but I guess there is the possibility that Charles Anderson was not my father.

Sending for Charles Nestor Anderson's death cert. may give you clues to if you have any siblings. Maybe one of them registered the death

Have you entered the names under the 'quick search' at the top of the page? There is another member who also has Joan 1923 in their tree.

Good luck
