I'm searching for Barry Wilson in Leeds

Hi Everyone,

I'm needing some help searching for a distant relative. Barry Wilson is my second cousin. His mother was Alice Wilson (Nutter) & his father Herbert Wilson.

Barry was born around the mid 1930's so he'll be pushing around 80 now. I've asked all the family I've found but no one has a telephone number or address. Someone must have as he was at his sister Janet's funeral two years ago which I was unable to attend. Sadly since my Dad & Grandad died no one in the family has kept in touch. They glued everything together & since their passing when I was young we've all lost touch.

The last I heard Barry was living at a flat where Great Auntie Alice lived in Leeds. I believe it was called Bancroft Towers. I found a telephone number for a B Wilson on the Bt directory site but after calling it wasn't Barry.

Other than buying credits to search every Barry Wilson in Leeds I'm stuck. Does anyone know where I could search & don't have to pay? As well as a sister Janet (deceased) he has a younger brother Peter.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Matt

Try 192.com You will have to buy credits for full results but there are several B and Barry Wilson's listed - I got 6 free results giving address and phone numbers

There are 9 B Wilsons on bt's online phone book

You can search on Genes or Find my past for free but would need to buy credits to view if you are not a platinum (GR) or full (FMP) member...a lot cheaper than 192.com

There is a good chance he has also opted out as well

Researching:
Nothing much

I will send you all the Barry Wilson's in Leeds

Have only sent ones with no middle names

There is one with a very similar address to what you have mentioned and he seems to have lived there for many years

Nothing much
