Hello,
Please can someone help. We don't know much.
I am looking for my mum's brother. He was born in the year 1970 to Jeanne Ward (nee Wilson), in Derby, England, UK. We don't know what his last name was but was told his first name was possibly changed to Reuben.
Thank you for any help you can give.

Welcome to the boards Jackie.

If you click on "Search" at the top right of the screen and then click on "search all member trees" you will see that there is one person called Graeme who has Stephen Ward born 1970 in Derby in his tree. You can click on "find out more" and then send a message to Graeme.

Thanks to Malyon at least you now have the correct spelling of Stephen's name and year of birth.

Have you added your names to the Adoption Contact Register? If you do that and Stephen decides to look for his birth family he may do the same and then you will be able to be put in contact with each other. Here is the link:-
