I'm trying to find my cousin Chris, son of Eric and Margaret, who has a brother Andrew. He lived in the Gloucestershire, Worcestershire area.

Have you tried looking for matches on here, Friends Reunited, Facebook or 192.com?

If you know when and where he was born, try 'search trees'

When, approximately, did his parents marry, and when was he born?
Thanks

Lois has him in her GR tree (which, of course, she shouldn't) born 1954 in London

Andrew appears to be a red herring..........

The only marriage which I can see on Ancestry which could possibly be Christopher's took place in Lancashire

This was his father.................

Thanks everyone for your messages - yes, Chris's dad was Montague Eric Walford, always known as Eric. I have tried Friends Reunited and written to a number of potential Chris's. The last time I saw him was at my mum's funeral in 1984! He was unmarried then but I would guess he probably is now and probably has a family too. He was born in 1954.
Flick - why shouldn't I have him in my Genes Reunited tree?

If you go to "Help" at the top of the screen then select FAQs you will find this under Living Relatives

Members must have permission to add the names of any living relations to their tree.

If a member has added the names of living members of your family to their tree then we can ask them to remove them. Please send a full list of any living names and their years of birth that have been added without permission to the Genes Reunited support team..

It would also really help the support team if you could send in full details of the person who has added these names. When you see your own name or your family names in the search results, you can on the link to send the tree owner a message. On the next page you'll see their membership number. Please include this name and number in your email to us.

We will then contact the member who added them on your behalf.
