looking for expert help to find father
« on: Saturday 30 July 22 18:49 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Hoping post ok. I see a lot of people with expert skills on where to find information on people. I'm looking for my father. JTJ Removed on birth certificate. Born 1950s in Glasgow area (perhaps bargeddie). He may have passed by now but would mean a lot to know for sure.

Thanks in advance.

Jamie.

Welcome from me too

Using Scotlands People & searching births 1945 - 1959 shows 4 possibilities throughout all of Scotland.  The middle name could be Thomas or Thomson & the likeliest possibility is 1947 Coatbridge if you are sure he was b Lanark.

No death in Lanark - there is a 2017 death in Annan but there is also a corresponding birth in Annan - so we have to assume your father could still be alive

Is your mother still alive or are there any other family members who could provide you with more info?   

If your parents were married at the time of your birth - their marriage cert will give you more info about him - age/parents/mothers maiden name etc

Have you done a DNA test?

Welcome from me too  ;)

There are no births with that name in the 1950s in the whole of Scotland let alone Glasgow.

There are 5 entries 1940 - 1960

The only Glasgow entry is with middle name T*g*t b 1941 Tradeston (Glasgow) & a marriage 1962 Pollock (Glasgow), no death entry.

Although the index classes Glasgow as being in Lanark, there's a significant difference between 'Glasgow' & Lanark especially for those born in 'Glasgow'!

It may be possible to work out if the above is the same person by knowing his address & occupation, assuming not much had changed in the time you were conceived & the marriage.

You would need to order the MC via SP (scotlandspeople).

We don't know when you were born but if after 1962 then the above will not be the correct person.

How did you come about his year of birth, are you sure you have it correct as nothing seems to fit with what's been found so far?

I think that may be the one I referred to in my earlier reply.  The 1947 birth in Lanark fits the possible Bargeddie birthplace given in post

Firstly I would like to thank you all for taking the time to research for me. I have tried myself and keep pulling complete blanks.

Secondly apologies to moderator. I know this isn't technically the right place for the post but as you can see the  people on this forum have a set of skills that i don't and I would be eternally grateful.if you would let this one slide?

Any pointers/help.would be greatly appreciated. The posts above achieved more than I have in 30 odd years.

Thanks.
