Rootschat is not a place to locate the still-living.

I suggest that you obtain the birth record for Andrew Samuel, then obtain details  of any siblings and their marriages. Then post them publicly.

Something might turn up, but at the moment there is scant info, even about your man. (not even a birth year)

That tree looks awfully similar, but the chap was born in the 1870's.

Where did the 1896 birth record come from?

Wow it’s the same people sorry that was a mistake it’s meant to be the 1870s

Correct family

He had a son of the same name to the first wife around that time


Thanks

I think that the owner of the other tree might be the best option for now as there is very little to find online… only some minor bits and pieces
- Mona’s birth: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9T7T-S8XN?i=30&cc=1468076  …
- Andrew’s (probable) 1938 marriage: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GT7T-9CR1?i=187&cc=1468076 and Mona in 1936: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33S7-9T7T-S3X8?i=147&cc=1468076
(2 of the other boys  might have married in 1955 on the same day)

I haven’t been able to find any proof of death stuff for Andrew and Winifred ... grrr
