Member Since: October 2007 Posts: 0 Send Message	My dad was born on the 26th Dec 1947. I cannot find him on any of the birth records for that period. The family surname is de castella or castella. I have looked under both but drawn a blank. He was born in my grandparents house in Chiswick, London. Has anyone any further suggestions??Thanks, C
