Find Living Relatives

hi all I wondering if anybody could possibly help me find my father. his name is james Mitchell born in 1956 in Scotland I know his date of birth. as far as I am aware he has 11/12 siblings. two brothers john and brian which I remember and possibly a sister Theresa. I remember one trainer he worked for who I have made contact with but they have no forwarding information. I have no idea of his parents. I have found a transcript of their marriage certificate (in wales) but I have no idea how to read the information or how to extract each individual if it is possible. I am a total novice and find myself going around in circles. iv tried many times over the years but have failed. I know he met my mother in Newmarket where they both trained race horses. although he lived in wales it was only for a short time, he left approx. 6months after he got married to my mother. may 1991 roughly. my mam has told me he moved to Kentucky in America 1991/92ish.I also have his national health number.

you need to look on Scotlands People and find his birth . you cant view the info online but can order a copy of his birth cert from them at £10

the marriage cert to your mum should show his dads name

what is mums maiden name?

I have looked on there and it says no records. thank you for your reply

so what have you found so far ??

the marriage cert will be the place to start

i have only see the one you can view on here. have no idea who his parents were. il order a copy of my mothers marriage certificate just read on another thread you can order them. my mother hasn't got her divorce papers either. to be honest i haven't found a lot well nothing that i didn't already know after hours and hours of searching. i have wrote to people on here who have his name on their tree but haven't had any replies as of yet

sorry but what you say doesnt help us who do look ups.

aw thank you u must make so many people happy. no doubt u will see me pop up again soon. im going to get certificated ordered first thing in the morning and collect it if I can

Dont think you can collect it , its held at Southport if you order using the GRO ref

Order online using the GRO ref and tick the box that asks if the GRO ref is known . you only need to use one name BUT use it at its shown on the Ref , put the GRO ref in the boxes where asked .

Will probably take up to 2 weeks to be sent to you
