Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 169 Send Message	Hi all and thank you for replying to me....I think the guy who gave me the info was giving me their birth dates...Do you know if i can apply to get their birth certificates without a full date of birth?,as i only know the month and yr and not the actual date... Many thanks again....

	Ok, not sure where o whoever gave you the info about the GRO registers. people normally only appear in them on three occasions 1) when they are born 2) whe they marry 3) when they die. If you are born in jan 1970, that is when you will appear - you dont then appear in jan every year afterwards. in order to establish if htose are your siblings you will need to send for their bith certificates. --------------------------------------------------- from your origial posting above, needs some clarification please Stephen Michael Jones L/Q< Is that Last Qtr? 1972 Surrey S.E.

Member Since: June 2005 Posts: 169 Send Message	Hi... If anyone can point me in the right direction i would be sooo gratefull...Im 36 yrs old and for the last 10yrs have been thinking about trying to find my Father,I have now come to a point in my life where i feel i need to find/meet/chat to him..I have spent hrs walking round the area he came from and after speaking to some or the "older" folks around have found out quite alot of info on him and his brother,have visted the graves of his parents and found my fathers birth and marriage certs but i just cant find him or any relations..Its like they have vanished in thin air and its so frustrating to say the least..I know my father had at a daughter older than me and have been told he had a couple more by 1977.?..I know the names of both his wives and have his parents details but cant cant find anything on him or his other children...If anyone could offer any help advice or just point me in the right direction i would really appreciate it... As a human being dont you think we all have a right to know where we come from.. Many thanks Kerry His details are... Martin Thomas Jones..Born Welwyn Herts in nov 1944 to parents Haold george Edward and Mary Winifred Eileen Jones nee Westwood.(his mother died 11 days after his birth),brother is Christopher Harold Jones born Feb 1940 in Wheathampstead Herts..
