Hi - no he wasnt married to my birth mother...someone has told me recently that according to electoral rolls he lived in Ealing and Fulham between 1958-1963...l was born in 1961. Dont know middle name..if any? Birth mother passed away 2012 so no one to verify anything...he was apparently 21 when l was born...l was named Julie Bowden...birth mother was Barbara Shirley Bowden |

hi Julie, there were 6 Colin Hodgson births registered from April 1939 to June 1940 (so they could have been 21 when you were born, from just turned 21 to almost 22) |

Afraid the person finding him 1958-1963 can't have the right person if he really was 21 when you were born. He would not have been eligible to vote until he was 21 so would not have been on the ERs before this. |

The address given to you is wrong, it's actually mistranscribed and should be 277 New King's Road. The householder would appear to be Ellen A Webb (she was recorded as the juror) and was living there in 1956 - with a different set of possible lodgers. |

I think the address is actually New King's Road and 3 other males and a female. |

Using your mother's name and grandmother's name and searching on freebmd, it seems possible that Kathleen had several other children. |

Hi Gwyn - yes as l did meet my birth mother l was able to meet her siblings...Reginald, David & Sylvia. At Barbaras funeral l met many first cousins who attended...for the first time in 2012 and are still in touch with some. That side of my family is pretty much now in my life. Barbaras sister Sylvia is the only one remaining now...maybe l will ask my cousin Hazel to see if she knows any information about the father of her sisters unborn child...doubt it but worth a try!! |
