Hello listers; My father did not marry in England but only thought he was going to marry. So I would not be able to find anything in BMD. for England. As I have thought about this for a long time and only now have come to the decision to see if maybe there was a sibling maybe two that I may have I only would like to let them know if they are interested in what happend with him after he and the lady went their own ways. Sharon ps. I do not expect to be welcomed with wide open arms just to let them know about him. If they do have open arms and hearts that would be the best thing I could recieve. I would welcome them as I know that back in the time it was not easy for the lady or her family or for any children that may have come out of it. But one can only try with open everything.

You'll probably never know but there are organisations, such as the British Red Cross and Salvation Army who have files on those looking for lost relatives, including children with overseas forces fathers looking for half siblings. It might be worth contacting them to see if your father is named. If he is, the organisation will act as an intermediary initially. If he's not, then you can register your interest in any half siblings that might one day want to find out more, that's assuming s/he/they know who their father is. They may not have been told or they may have been adopted and not want to know.
