DorsetJasper Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) I know this is a bit of a strange request but the information i have gained from this forum and the wide range of members on here i thought it might be worth a go. To cut the story short i am trying to find/trace a lost relative, i have tried all the conventional methods and the internet and i even used a couple of agencies all to no avail. He was from Sheffield originally trained in Bristol and spent time in Australia, from what i have heard he is now in Scotland but this is only hear say. Thank you for your time in reading this and if any members can help, then please PM me Edited January 20, 2010 by Borries01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpowder Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Whats his trade or job, virtually impossible task with so few details. Blackpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorsetJasper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 He trained as a Doctor, I tried the GMC but they couldnt help. I tried the electoral role and that came up with a blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricko Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) This is not too strange for a request. I taught a night school class on family history last year and a lady turned up with the same sort of request! 192.com is a reasonable place to start, it uses phone directories and electoral roll records An classified advert in a popular scottish paper personal column?? Are they likely to be on Friends Reunited?? or Facebook?? Is he likely to be a member of the university alumni association where he studied??

DorsetJasper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 I tried 192.com and came up with a few names but none stated Dr. Facebook and friends reunited didnt turn anything up either. It doesnt help where he was David John ****** ******* but then for some reason started using John as his first name. Cheers for all the help so far I feel like i have exhausted the internet looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for all the help so far I feel like i have exhausted the internet looking Just because it doesn't say dr doesn't mean it isnt him, most drs won't use their title in something as public as the telephone directory. Give them a call orwrite to them. We did this when completing our family tree and most were really helpful. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DorsetJasper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Cheers Piebob for the info but thats the wrong Farrand, I know he was working in Sheffield Hospital in 1977 til im unsure He is just a hard chap to find. Mungler, No he doesnt owe me any money and hes not wanted. Like i said at the start hes a close relative that i have had no contact with and i would like the chance to have contact.

DorsetJasper Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sorry Mungler my reply must have just crossed over! Date of Birth unknown. He qualified as a Dr in 1972 so im guessing he would have had to have been 25 ish so 1947 ish. Sorry cant be more helpful Thanks to all that have helped so far!

Mungler Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Bung me a PM and I'll email you what I have. Nothing medical related. That being said, if the GMC don't know him I would query whether he is still a doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
