Looking for Dad
« on: Sunday 27 December 15 23:16 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I'm not sure where to start. Looking for  (*). He was a PC with London Doc Authorities around 1969 before moving to Tilbury to do the same job. When In London he lived in Fulham in flats (Forfar house) I believe. He is slightly older than my mum who was born in 1937. Unfortunately I don't know anything else. Looking for pointers or advice on where a novice should start.

Hello, and welcome to RootsChat! 

RootsChat is meant for finding ancestors, rather than living relatives.

Personal details of any people known or thought to be living will be removed, in accordance with RootsChat policy, to avoid spamming and other abuses. So people here will be able to give you general tips and hints how to proceed, but not any concrete details.

Welcome to rootschat amacrae.

If you reply here a couple more times, the personal messaging system will be activated, and anyone willing or able to try to help you can do so via PM.

I take it you have done the obvious, such as checking social media? Are you led to believe that he is still living?

Oh and I tried social media, but no joy yet. Assuming he is still alive but not sure.
