Hi folks,
I'm hoping for some expert help with tracing a relative.
His name was George Ashton, born in 1900 +/- 1 year
This chap is my grandfather. My dad was born in 1925 name removed and before he was 5 years old, his parents split up and went their separate ways. My dad thinks his middle name was Powell, but cannot be sure.
He was living in Bradford, W.Yorkshire in 1925.
I've used the records I'm aware of online to establish his immediate family tree, so have the names of his siblings and parents with available DOB's, etc
As of about 1930, nobody knows what happened to George Powell Ashton. Being only in his late 20's/early 30's, it's likely he had more children. So my dad, who is now 86 may have had (or still has) siblings he never knew about.
My question is, where do I go from here? What is the next step?
I fear that with such a common name and not knowing his whereabouts from the age of about 30, it maybe impossible to trace what ever happened to my Grandfather.
So I thought I'd pop a post on here and see if anyone can suggest anything avenues I could try.
The middle name of Powell could prove vital in tracing him (or prove to be a red herring)
Thanks for reading.
