Looking for my 'half' brother

I am hoping to find my half brother who was also adopted. His name was Phillip John Moulton & he was born in Bristol in 1963.

If anyone can advise me how I could make contact with him I would be delighted.
Thanks

Have you put his birth name in your tree on here, so that you can be contacted if a relative comes looking?
Have you read the guidelines at the top of this board with their help and suggestions?

Added:
He appears to have 2 sisters also, have you found them?

Add yourself to the national adoption contact register

If your half-brother knows he was adopted, and is interested in finding birth family, he may have done the same

Susan probably didn't know about Philip then because of the spelling of Scawen.

Thank you all for your help! Rose is right I did not know Phillip was a brother until I ordered his birth certificate & checked that it was just a misspelling of Scawen.

I have recently met with Eileen & we are hoping to piece things together.

Just wanted to let you know I am now on the Adoption Contact register so thank you Reggie.
Eileen & I are already very close & she is hoping to have a better response from writing to our mother than I did. We are confident that our mother may know what happened to our 2 half sisters Maria & Christine.
Thank you for your help everyone xx
