I am trying to find my half brother, but I have no idea where to start. The only information I have is my fathers name and a name of the person to whom he had a child, (may be a married name or a maiden name), and an address from the 1980's. |

Do you know your brother's name? If the birth is 1984 or later, it will be on the Ancestry indexes so you will get a district and his full name. |

Unfortunately not, I don't even know what his surname would be. |

As you have an address and 2 possible surnames, can you search all the boys in the 80s with those two surnames? (Hope it's not Smith and Jones lol!) |
