Marianne ??

If they are unaware of your existence then you need to tread very carefully.

One thought would be to use an intermediary or third party if you can find a good one.

They appear to be in several trees on here.

Have you considered a neutral approach, just regarding vague ancestors and any knowledge thereof?

Added:
Have you got the correct birth years for the sisters in your trees on here, and was Roger his middle name at marriage?

Added:
Think this was his birth?
Aubrey R Masters
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1941
Registration district: Bodmin
Inferred County: Somerset

No middle name just Roger ,used to own Masters News in Bodmin...guessed years of birth for girls I was 1972 so was before then. Met Mandy as a small child she had a partner Steven...roger wasnt born in Cornwall he had a cheeky cockney(maybe )accent... I don't know much I know he was married to Doris ??? and the girls names I last heard from him in 1998\9 ...I,ve thought of them often and it was a huge shock to find out Roger has passed last November, wish I had chance to say goodbye etc..

This must be his birth, as he was 72 according to the obituary:

Births Sep 1941 (>99%)
Masters Roger L Browning Ilford 4a 541

Edit: Forget this.

Thank you maybe I really don't know A lot I was so young when I found out he was my dad and shortly after he left our house its a complicated story ...has a marriage for Roger and Doris popped up?? Her maiden name may be Bennett...I have another reason for contact medical history as a few thIngs have popped up while at the doctor's.. thank you in advance

Forget my last posting. Looks like he was Aubrey Roger Masters.

There's a marriage that fits to a Doris Marks and then the children with the matching maiden name.

Thank you Rose..could you check the dates the children were born for me at all please? Maz

Births are 1963, 1964, 1965, in the order you have put them in the OP. No middle initials for any of them.

So Sharon might have a tree on here.

In addition, presumably you have the name of the funeral director from the funeral notice?

That notice also stated a surviving brother (of Roger) - was he aware of your existence?

Thank you for the link the address rings a bell too.....will need to find parents and a sibling for him now and fill mum in on the news thank you so much for yr help I'm not too good at researching.

Brother looks to be Terence:

All I have to go on is the notice in the paper which I came across by chance I was thinking of maybe writing a note/letter and asking them to pass it on to them....I knew he had a brother don't know if he knows of me I'm sure Mandy knows whom I am (mum said she did) but am not 100% as u have prob guessed I was the result of an affair...Dad did move in with us for a while in the 80,s he had a lab called pip a complicated situation all round ...

On 192.com the 2002-2002 electoral roll had an Amanda living with a Stephen Ellis in Bodmin.

She was of the correct age.
