He is older than my mum around ten years older so he would be 59 or 60 maybe, and yes sorry I meant gravesend not Greenwich he was never on my birth certificate I checked, I don't have no address only his name and roughly how old he is my mum doesn't remember much it's was 26 years ago.

Do you actually have your birth certificate? I looked at Ancestry and it appears your birth was registered in Gravesend, not Greenwich.

Was Martin mentioned on it?

Does your mum remember if he was older or younger than her, names of his parents or siblings?

If you have an address, you could look at old electoral rolls to get his name.

I have asked family members they don't tell me much just that he was with my mum and not so much around them, my mum can't remember his date of birth and all I have is his name, and no I was born in Greenwich I don't really have much to go on but I'm 26 now and want to start somewhere

Can't,t you ask family members about him ?

As he was around for some time then they should know something about his background ie age ,his parents names where they lived at the time ec

i don't know much about my birth dad i no he was around until i was 1 and came back when i was 2 to see me, then disappeared i think now he will be in his late 50's early 60's his name is martin Clarke or Clark, i used to live in crayford with my mum dawn wheeler and my grandad Frederick wheeler and Nan Doreen wheeler that's where he last saw me.
i don't know a date of birth or area im guessing he may still be in London.
i don't know how else to search for him.
im 26 now and was born in Gravesend in1989
if anyone has any ideas that would help me i would be very grateful.
