Hi Rita, Thank you so much for your offer of help. To get hold of Desmond Douglas' birth certificate from St Vincent would be amazing! I guess I am more interested in finding members of his family back in St Vincent (even though I know he had a sister who was living in London around the 1960's. Saying that, I'm not ruling out finding other members of his family who also moved to the UK. I have had a couple of messages through Friends Reunited who say they remember working with Desmond at the Ever Ready battery factory in Dagenham, but they have no further information. I have also had some correspondence through Genes Reunited with members who have listed members of the DOUGLAS family in St Vincent in their family trees. These couple of people are helping me to search for anyone who may be related to Desmond or know of him but so far there has been nothing concrete. I don't even know whether Desmond is still here in the UK or has gone back home to St Vincent. Please do keep in touch and if you or anyone else knows anything about DESMOND DOUGLAS or his family, please let me know. Thank you, again.
