Hi, Am looking for the birth of a boy about 1945 somewhere in Wales. Father was Frederick FULLER and he was an English soldier on 'detachment?" in Wales. Frederick is my uncle, but he passed away in 1990. Please bear with me for lack of names etc. as I don't want to give too much away, unless I hear from the right party. Frederick was married and had a family in England, at the time he had 2 kids one born 1941 and the other 1945. I guess he got lonely and careless. Anyway, the 1941 child has been looking for her half brother for years. I do family history and she asked me if I had come across him. I said no, hadn't looked, but would give it a go. What may, or may not make this easier than 'other soldier parent searches' is that the girl claimed maintenance, and Joseph defaulted, and therefore there is paperwork somewhere around from where she took him to court. The 1941 child remembers that when she was a child her father received these summonses or whatever, guess it didn't go down too well in the household. As it was a cross border thing, would I need to look in England as well as Wales? Is there a Welsh PRO (similar to that at Kew) that might hold the court records/maintenance requests? If it were a hundred years earlier I would say the bastardry records. Can anyone give me a suggestion as to how I might find something to give us a lead? If the person born in Wales (now about 60) does not want contact, that is fine, I will pass the message on. But, I would appreciate proof that he is the person concerned e.g. by adding the names of his father that I have left out, and places in England. Names of the living need not even be exchanged, just consider me an intermediary. His privacy will be honoured it that is his wish. Thankyou for any help any one may be able to give me.
