To see if he is in anyone's tree you need to do a Search Trees which is under the Search heading above. If he does come up the you can make contact with the tree owner

Is this his birth, mis-transcribed?

Births Jun 1900 (>99%)
PARSONS Herbert Alexandra Windsor 2c 429

You need to look for matches using search box above right - it's almost certain no relatives will read this.

Willesden makes sense, they had a daughter born in Willesden 1930, shortly after he left and had no further contact.

Thanks, the picture is growing

Hi I am searching for details of my Grandfather. He was born Herbert Alexander Parsons in Windsor 1900 to George & Florence. By 1911 he had been adopted by Annie Pudner in Plymouth, which was strange as there were other children in the Parsons family and his parents went on to have more after his adoption. He married my Grandmother, who knew him as Ernest Pudner until the marriage in 1927 when he disclosed his real name and they had my Mum in 1930. By 1932 he had left and my Grandmother never spoke about him after. Any helpers?!
