Help please ! I am trying to trace a Willy Edgar Thebest who possibly used the surname Malpass or Shotner. Born in Magdeburg/Saxony-Anhalt Germany DOB 15/10/47 came to the Uk illegally was deported but then came back to uk with German documents. He Married a Maureen Beck in Folkestone kent uk in 1972.
I am really finding it hard to get any information. Thanks.

If either parties are still alive we are not allowed to name them it is a policy on Rootschat.
There are 2 births with surnames mentioned for parents.

Hi , I can only find marriage certificate for the named person so i dont know if living or not. I do have a Sarah Martha Thebest dob 12/11/1911 and dod 1972. If possible can you give me any info on possible relatives who are no longer living that may tie in.
Thankyou very much.

only 4 entries for that surname appear on freebmd web site.
Sarah's death
The marriage
2 births in Kent.
First move would be to find his father.....Sarah buried New Romney on 28th Jan death was 25 Man she was a widow.
The marriage cert should list his father and then it looks as if Europe searches will be needed to go back through the line.

Thanks,
Thats as far as I have got . I cant find a marriage certificate for Sarah Martha which is why i thought it may be in Germany and I cant access those records. Being that its an unusual surname I was hoping I might have some luck on here.
Thanks for looking.

The 1972 marriage should list grooms father.... If alive or deceased.....and his occupation.
