Hi Bonron

You have a related topic here

https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=577400.msg6353687#msg6353687

Rootschat isn't for finding or reconnecting with missing family members.

If you haven't done so, purchase the marriage certificates for all those with the name of his daughter after 1984 when she would have been 16, to see if her father is noted. Start with those closest to the last known address in Brent and work out. There are 8 to start with.

I see from a free search at DeceasedOnline.com that Edward Foley is buried with 2 other people, it might be worthwhile checking the other 2 but you will need credits or a subscription.

Upto 2002 you couldn't opt out of the electoral registers, it might be worth using FindMyPast looking at all entries with his name to see if you can find him. Again you'll need a subscription.

You can check the GRO death index online upto 2020 at www.gro.gov.uk you need a free username and password. I had a look  but couldn't see any entries without a middle name born in 1943.

Have you looked for his brother and sister? His brother born 1932 died in 1998 and left a will, that only costs £1.50 and could be useful https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

Some things to think about.

Have you read "Guidelines for posting" which can be found on the "Help" pages? There's some advice about searching for living people partway down the page.
Please also read the information about privacy in that section. One of your posts on the thread mentioned by Dawn has been edited by a moderator because it contained details about living people.

You could also post on Social Media, facebook have some genealogy groups which offer good advice but you can't use Living People's names on there either.

Good Luck

Bonron.  I'm on a similar tracking path to you but similarly will not be using living names here.  I will do as separate posts so that any public replies are separate by subject.
The first point is that although there is a GRO record of Edward Patrick Foley marrying Giuseppina Bambara in 1902, you'll appreciate there isn't a clear record or what happened to her after aside from most likely being the mother to both Edward Patrick Foley (aka Mario) b1903 and Michael Foley b1905.  Have you managed to exclude the other /possibly same Giuseppina Bambara (b 19 November 1885) who married Guido Angelo Battista Dessmann (b1879)?

Next question, again open for public comment, is contrary to a marriage record for Edward Patrick Foley (aka Mario) that you've posted previously.  There is a GRO record of Edward Patrick Foley marrying XXXXX in Cairo 1944.  Her name is similar to a previous posting of yours but doesn't accord with the 1935 Kensington record you have which I think is another Edward Patrick Foley (son of the policeman).  This maybe helpful.

Thank you for the information, regards the mariage , of which you say is of another Edward Patrick Foley,however on the marriage certificate, it clearly states ocupation wrestler and boxer which Edward was, who wrestled under the name of Mario Majisti,so i find it impossible to have two Edward foley,s who both had the same occupations, regards the marriage you speak of in cairo in 1944, can not be of my father, i was born in 1945 and other infomation i have denies the marriage in cairo in 1944 is that of my father, perhaps you could explain who the grandson his who you are searching information for, i think i know but could you please be more clear as to this Grandson,so we have a lead a point to start from, many thanks
