Consequently I grew up without a dad and I suppose what you never have you never miss, so as the years rolled by I never felt the need or desire to make contact with him. But as you get older and have kids of your own, I guess you begin to wonder more deeply about your heritage and seek to understand your own identity more clearly.

So after much cajoling and a fair amount of introspection I finally plucked up the courage to initiate the process of finding him about a month or so ago.

They specialise in tracing people and to date have reunited 15,000 people with family members or friends that they had lost contact with. Indeed they have a 92% success rate in locating people, often with minimal information. And that was the situation with my case. All I knew was his name, Roy Barrington House, the fact that he met my Mother in Stockport, they lived together in Barcelona before they split and he had a sister called Anne. Other than that? Nothing. Not much to go on was it?
