Hi Steve

Can you give the guys on here some more information do you think? How old would he be? What did he do for a living? Did he have any family? Anything that could help would be great. Thanks.

Good luck in finding him.

Best wishes.
Teddy

Hi Teddy
sorry it's been so long for me to get in touch been busy lately thanks for getting in touch with me, all i know is he mght be between 60 and 65ish and it turn's out he was married but didn't tell her when he met to her (yes he is my father I'm trying to find him) she can't remember much about him and what she does is, she thinks he had an uncle who used to work in a garage in Kings Lynn somewhere and that he had a brother named trevor but didn't have any children at the time when they met.
sorry it is'nt much but thats all I've got on him and all my mother remembers of him and also i look abit like him.

Regards

Steve Stockdale

Hi again

Is he aware of your existance? If not it could be one heck of a shock for him & his family.

I hope this ends happily.

Hi Teddy
I think he does, my mum had to go through the court to get child support for me and they had to tell him and i think she told him aswell the reason I'm trying to find is I'd like to find out if I've got any half-brothers or sisters out there or any other family on my fathers side. And I'd like to get to him if poss. i know this mite sound strange but i don't feel hole without knowing who he is and what he is doing at the mo, and give him the chance to get to know me before it's to late if you now what i mean.

Regards

Steve :wink:

Hi Stve

I understand totally mate. I have helped a few people get to know their siblings/half-siblings and it has always been a very emotionally draining experience for them. Worth it on all occasions up to now I must say, but very much a roller coaster!

It seems that nobody in town can help you, so I will do a bit of digging and see what I can do. (No promises though.)

Best of luck.

Teddy

Hi again Steve

I am afraid I have drawn a blank. I called several Watsons in the area, including a Trevor, but nobody knew a John Henry Charles.

Your next best option is to drop an email to the Editor of the Lynn News & Advertiser asking if he could print a letter asking about John Henry Charles or his relations to contact you. (I wouldn't put too much about you being his son in the letter as it could deter some people from contacting you or cause a bit of a problem if the family don't know about you.)

I would have hoped that someone on here would have known a Watson who worked in a garage or John or Trevor.

Best of luck in your search.

Teddy
