Looking for my grandfather. William is my mother's Father and we have never met him. He was born around 1925. My Nan (recently deceased) could not remember alot(due to age) and what we were told was that he may have come from Stepney in London, had a good job in Scunthorpe steelworks (Cappers?) He was a very nice, tall man, over 6foot with dark hair. He moved to Wolverhampton (LowHill area?) where he met my nan and my mother was born in 1960. They parted ways not long after and we dont know where he went. We were told he was a bricklayer while in Wolverhampton and had property in a village called Bell Broughton? He had connections with Newark. He also had twins (boys??) from a relationship before. Does anyone recognise any of this detail? Know the twin children born mid 1950's? If so ANY help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for reading this.

Think one of the twins is a member of genes, but may not know of the possible connection.........

I understand that he may have passed away. Obviously didnt think it could have been so soon but if I could trace the twins then maybe there would be a possibility of finding more out about William. Just a photograph would mean the world as we have never ever seen him!

Thank you again for all your help!
