Jonathan (possibly Wilson) Putney

Victoria Report 9 Aug 2015 16:43

I am seeking my brother Jonathan...whom I can only assume his surname is Wilson. My father has an affair with a lady with a double barrelled first name possibly 'Ann Marie ' when we were around eight to ten years old.
My father is known as Jim but his full name is JAMES THOMSON RANKINE HALL WILSON born 06/03/1948 and was from Shepperton/Addlestone at the time Jonathan was born. It may be Jonathan has a different surname Ie his mums. I know my father shirked his responsibilities and failed to support Jonathan and his Mum.
I hope someone can help me find my brother.
He would have been born and lived in Putney around 1981-1984. This is all I know ...long shot I lnow. Please help if you know Jonathan or perhaps his mum. :-)

Welcome to the boards Victoria.

I'm afraid if your father was not on Jonathon's birth certificate and you do not know the mother's surname it will be impossible to find him - especially as Wilson is not an unusual name.

Victoria
There are a few births for a Jonathon in London,various areas.

There is one for 1981 which I dictates this Jonathon was adopted.

His surname is given as Davies.

In situations like this there is a lot of guesswork and luck.

I can look up other births and see what appears, may take a day or two.

My email is [email protected]

It would be easier for me if you were happy to send me your email.

Hope to maybe help a little.

Best wishes.

Ian

Ian - please remove your email address as it is against the sites T&C.

If Victoria wishes to contact you off-board, she can click on your name to send you a private message.

If the son was adopted outside of his mother's family, then his name would have changed. In the meantime, you could find your father's birth reg on freebmd and add a Post'em with a contact email address. Use a generic one such as @gmail, @hotmail etc etc.
If the son wishes to trace his birth father's family, that's one of the places he'd look.

Do you have your father on your tree on here? Have you searched the site to see if anyone else lists him? If they aren't known to you, send a message asking for their connection.

Lastly - even if you allow your sub to GR lapse, always make sure your account is linked to the email address you use. If the son should search the internet, this thread will be picked up. He can take out a free trial and contact you via the messaging system.....clicking on your name.
