Thankyou valerie for your reply i have made contact with john already fingers crossed thankyou :-)

Hi ..(cont) I notice that a John Spittle on 'GR' has listed Janice Griffin b 1967 B'ham in his tree. Hopefully he's still a 'GR' member for you to make contact.

Hi ... the 'National Archives of Aus' (on-line) has this:
Kenneth Arnold Griffin b1941/ Joyce Cynthia Griffin b26/11/1942 (nee Holloway) and Janice Elizabeth Griffin b 6/9/1967 dep Southampton on the 'Fairsky' 13/12/1968 - (assisted passage). No mention of Brian/Bryan -but as suggested - probably born in Aus.

If you think he MAY be in Aus ... you could try the 'National Library of Aus' (on-line) ..it has an 'Ask a Librarian' service ...and hopefully they can trace him via electoral rolls -past & present. If you knew which State they settled in -it would certainly help.

Sorry for the confusion i am still gathering information everday so have only just realised that him maybe being born in australia might be worth looking at he did however come back to birmingham but then moved back abroad as he was in the forces not sure as to where i have checked my sent message and theres an envelope next to it which im asuming means he hasent read it thankyou all for your help as you can probly tell i am very new to this so having great difficulty

As Bryan's membership number is about 9 years old there is a very good chance he has now changed his email address if your message has been unopened

Well that explains it then .you didnt say Joyce was in Australia at any time.

Why do you think Bryan/Brian is now in the UK ?


Looking at Joyce info on search trees there are two members who have her listed Bryan and John

If Bryan hasn,t replied them maybe he changed his email address. Doesn't mean he is refusing to reply .

Have you checked to see if he has opened your PM

I typed in the name joyce holloway and the name attached was bryan and because the details were the correct for joyce i just assumed it would be the correct one i habe found another bryan born in australia which does match some other info that i have as joyce was in australia at that time

He isn't listed in Search Trees either. How did you find him on this site

Well Brian's birth with mmn Holloway just doesn't show Sorry.

Confused :-S

Janice,s birth is the only one that comes up with mmn
Holloway

Just PMing you the birth for Janice

Thankyou everyone for your replys joyce also had a daughter called janice griffin im not able to trace this either you have all already helped me more than i have done myself been on this for a week and no luck thankyou very much

The person who has Joyce has the spelling of Bryan, though I can't see that there is a Griffin/Holloway birth in that spelling either?

well can only see a Brian Griffin born 1948 in search trees he cant be the son of Joyce ?????

Theres two members who have Joyce Holloway born 1942 in their tree.

You could try contacting them

this looks like his mum
Name: Joyce Cynthia Griffin
Birth Date: 26 Nov 1942
Date of Registration: Mar 2000
Age at Death: 57
Registration District: Birmingham
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Register Number: P8B
District and Subdistrict: 0611P
Entry number: 294


doesnt appear to be a birth for a Brian mmn Holloway ??

Looking at your 'sent' messages is the envelope still there? if so it hasn't been read, so he may not now be contactable by GR.

Have you looked in Search Trees for him ?

If you have tried to contact him through that way and he hasnt answered it maybe he has altered his email address

Could anybody help me with my search i am looking for brian griffin born 1970 he is from birmingham not sure if still lives there and his mothers name is joyce cynthia griffin formally holloway unfortuatly i believe she has sadly passed away would be very gratefull for any help att all whether somebody has him on there tree or knows him in person i am new to this so dont really no how it all works
