Looking for Birth Father

[Paul Redmayne]

I hope this is appropriate but I am looking for my Birth Father Robert Moffatt, who served on the Merchant Ship Hinakura between England and New Zealand 1967 - 1969 and was the Chief Electrician who lived in Laburnum Roa&d Scotland.
Any info would be greatly appreciated

Cheers Paul

Just a thought

Does your birth father know about you

Are you sure he will want to be found

I know it may be vitally important to the seeker

But it may (or may not) be very disruptive to those being sought

No doubt you have considered this for the sake of those who kindly help

Just a stab in the Dark, but could this be him at all??

Hello Paul, Welcome to the site As there are several Laburnum Road's in and around Scotland, would you have an inkling in which particular area. Also do you know your father's birth year? It doesn't have to be exact as I'll allow 5-10yrs either way.

Around 1940 he was 28 in 1969

[Paul Redmayne]

Yes my birth mother did inform him but he never returned from Scotland, I am very mindful of others and I no way would wish to disrupt anyone's lives just seeking info as my kids have been doing a family tree during lock down here and would love to give them some more about there background.
Thank you for being concerned tho

[Paul Redmayne]

Thank you, I just keep coming up blank everywhere unfortunately
