This is a long shot but I am trying to find a Frank or Francis Martin .He is my cousin I remember meeting him when I was very young he is a little older than me and i was born in 1959
I think he was born around 1957 his father was of the same name and his mother was called Betty now this is the rub I dont know where he was born my mother thinks it was Scotland .It would be logical as I have trawled all the English birth records and brick wall. I dont even know his mothers surname
His fathers parents lived in Kirkham in Lancashire his parents split up when he was young his father then lived with his parents in Kirkham.
I have never seen or heard anything about him since
As I said long shot
I would just like to know what happened to him
Thankyou for reading even if you cant help

Hello Yes I have looked for a marriage but nothing is coming up certainly not in England , my Mum seems to think his mother was Scottish so maybe married her there . From the time his mother and father split up I never remember her of him even being mentioned, My Uncle was in Korea and he was never the same after that and it had somthing to do with his state of mind.
Familys then didnt talk about things in front of children and I was only a child when I last saw my cousin.

Can you list Frank/Francis senior's details? When and where was he born, who were his parents, etc?
