thanks for the responses
john is my father and i have had contact with him untill the age of 13
my grandparents used to take me to his parents house in cimla to visit
them without my mother knowing
over the years i had contact but sadly cannot remember my grandparents name or address
in 1991 i spoke to my father john and arranged to meet him so he could meet his grandchild but unfortunetly my mother heard the conversation and ended the call before we could make arrangments all iknew was he was living in london
a few years later i found out both his parents had died stopping all chance of me tracing him as i would send a letter and my father would contact me
i live in the middle east now and no longer have contact with my mother i have recently become a grandmother myself and would dearly love to contact my father if hes still alive
i have looked at birth records but having a uncooperative mother doesnt help as she wont tell me his date of birth so i look from 1948 to 51 also she has conveniently forgotten his parents names and his sisters name
so any help i can get from here would be greatly appreciated

Do you have any address at all? Don't put on here obviously! Just yes or no.
If you do it is possible to search for occupants (aged over 21) on electoral register.

Start by looking for his birth on freebmd

What is your reason for this search?

Have you been told that you are related to him?
