Welcome to the boards Mark.

You don't appear to have any full blood siblings as yours is the only Spoor/Readman birth on GRO.

Have you lost contact with both parents, or were you looking for half siblings born before you?

Without giving away personal details, what makes you think that you might have siblings?

Welcome to the boards, Mark

If you look on free bmd:

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

you will see that you are the only birth for Spoors/Readman showing.

Are you looking for any subsequent marriages, and half-siblings?

Have you got an approximate year of birth for James?

Thanks

Added:
There are James W Spoors showing on 192.com - the 2 northern ones have no-one else in their household.
Have you looked on 192.com or other ER information?

Was he married before the marriage to your Mother?

The 1965 marriage would have been to my mother, i was led to believe he was still in the n/east so not sure about the Surrey entry
