hi nicole, checking the BMD Indexes online (http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl is free and there are others) reveals some records of these people and using the references those indexes provide you can order certificates from the General Registry Office (http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/).

Certificates will give you more information such as names of parents and or dates of birth so that you can track down earlier records of these people and their ancestors.

Hi Nicole, This is Teresa one of his sisters. I am also looking for him. His date of birth is the 12th July 1957 and he is the one who was born in horsham, surrey.

I havent seen my brother since ben was a baby but am trying to track him down. I see your post has been on here a while and wondered if you got any further in your search for him. I also looked on marriages and found he had remarried to barbara armitage.

His sister that you think is a twin, is not, she is a few years younger not sure wheres shes living but  bens mum may know as they used to live in the same area.

Bens Grandad sadly passed away about 10yrs ago and his step nan passed away 5yr ago

I no longer live in the croydon area, i live in ashford kent. If you want to catch up my email address is teresafitzgerald43@gmail.com
