Hi all. The name Reginald George Goodyear is on my and my sister's Birth certificate as father. He lived or had a relationship with my mother for two years at least in 1934 to 36. They were not married. I never saw or remember him. He may have served in the war or they parted perhaps with some acrimony. She would never talk about him.He and my mother lived in Kensington London and he is shown as working as a domestic servant. I have no certificates and can't pin his existence or location down. I hold no grudge on him but would like to know more about him as I am running out of years. Thanks for your interest.
