good day,I have always been led to believe that my uncle Alfred Thomason b 1912,Willenhall,Staffordshire,U.K. had a son by the name of David,I did actually meet him when we were about 10 years old in the middle 1950s. Before my Mother recently died she told me he was called John & may even have been adopted !

My Uncle married Elizabeth Marsh in 1937.

Can anybody throw any light on this,or lead me on the right path?

Thank you for your time,take care,Bill.

I can see a marriage between Alfred Thomason and an Elizabeth M Marsh in Birmingham, March quarter 1937, 6d, 81. I cannot though see any birth registrations in the following years of a child with surname Thomason with mother's maiden name Marsh, but it is possible that Marsh was not Elizabeth's maiden name, she may have had a previous marriage. A copy of the marriage certificate will confirm this.

You advise us that the son was named David and was about 10 years of age in the mid 50s, so born sometime in the 1940s, although your mother said his name was John? There was a birth of a David J Thomason in Birmingham, June 1948, 9c, 49, but with a mother's name Godden, could that be him?

Adoption registers are not open to the public and only available to the people themselves. As this person is probably still alive you could try finding him on Social Network sites or possibly in Telephone Directories, although he may not wish to be found.
