I'm looking for my dad, James Tamplin, and believe he still lives in the Richmond/Kingston area. I was adopted at birth but was named Tanya Finnie. My birth mother is called Patricia Finnie. James would be around the age of 65 and apparently has between 2/4 brothers. If anyone knows him or knows anything about where I can find him then please reply

Many thanks!

Welcome to the boards, Sarah.

Where have you looked for him - 192.com?

Have you tried to find his birth for more details from free bmd?

He could be in trees on here - have you tried to contact the tree owners?

Looks to be on 192.com

The 1949 birth has a middle initial, and someone with that middle initial and correct age is living in Surbiton.

Shirley,

On 192.com it states:

'We have the full address available for James M Tamplin. This was sourced from Electoral Roll records from 2002, 2013-14.'

Is that incorrect?

Patchem - Pming an address in Surbiton to 2014 found on GR. If you think it correct, please forward to Sarah. You've done the background research, so don't want to send Sarah totally wrong info.

I use FMP and although it's the general 2002-2013 for James it stated 2002,only

But I searched again on his wife's name and hers came up for the full term .

I did PM Sarah again to tell her

:-)

You have done it now, and that is what matters.
