I'm looking for my (long dead) father's other family(ies) just making a start on that really but still hampered by Barnardos attitude. Reminds me I need to write again. I believe from what I told by the first SW that I saw at Barnardo's that there are other records which I do not yet have which would help. I also still need them to make a decent attempt to get copies off of really badly done microfiche

Hi Robin,
forgive me for mentioning this if its a dead end or financially impossible, but I watched last year with some fascination a BBC programme about heirhunters and the professionalism of the companies involved (and competitiveness) in locating heirs to unclaimed estate that would go to the government's coffers if they weren't found.
Now the point of my mentioning this is this, if they can find the most difficult obscure relatives and be successful in a lot of the cases, I wondered if it was worth approaching them to help you? Obviously it would cost, but they have ways and means of getting information out of people and organisations, as does the Data Research company in Horley, Surrey (private detectives kinda thing).
Again, forgive me if this sounds like I'm barking up the wrong tree, but I do say it in all sincerity, as I was amazed as to how they found Aunt Fanny and Uncle Joe Bloggs where others had failed. Are you ok for me to drift in this direction????? and again, apologies if your efforts are more indepth than they can ever achieve.

I wish you success in your attempts to find your family, you mention your fathers side, have you found anyone in your bfamily at all?
