My friend's Mum (60) died when she was a baby and her father was an unknown Polish man certainly working on a Welsh farm in 1948.(from birth certificate). An extremely rare name - I believe this Polish dad went on to marry in the UK 1958 and had a child who confirms her Dad's name but refuses to talk to us any further. Sadly we find he died in 1979. |

It is possible that he was a member of the Polish Services, in which case there will be records for him. All Polish ww2 records are now held at:- |

(They required the birth-certificate of the babe with his name on, and his death cert. that I have obtained since, as well as an admin fee of course). |

The above is from a phone-call to the Northolt number - and from my chat with a charming (Polish?) lady there. |
