Trying to trace the above person. He was born 06/02/1954 at Portiana House Maternity Home Wednesday Stafford, confirmed. His mother was Margaret Carrabine b1920 d1993 and father Julian Walenty Lopuszynski a Fitter b1910 d1996 from Poland originally. Lived in the Walsall area, had a younger brother Antonio who sadly died in a car accident in 1973.
He is the half brother to my Aunt who was put up for adoption in 1948, he well might know this or may not. Would love to find him. Any help would be appreciated. I have a lot of certificates from GRO to confirm most of my findings. Please help.
Many Thanks

Rootschat does not allow us to post information about anyone who is possibly living, you will need to remove names from your post and heading.
I can see a possible entry on electoral register for 20 years ago have you found that information yourself

Hi Rosie
Sorry! Rather new to this. If I am unable to give names how am I to find the person? I am not sure how to view electoral roles.

Rootschat is for researching our ancestors and not looking for living people. I have sent you a PM with an address in 2002. Have you tried social media :-\

Just a heads up regarding Julian -
my father in law was Ostap Kabluckyj- and was known as Eustace - The English Army gave him that name for simplification
I will be very surprised if Julian was his given christian name in Poland - Julian is probably his Anglecised name ??

Do you have Margaret’s will? There might be information there.
There are a couple of newspaper snippets about your man which, one would think, would make him traceable but I can’t see him in newspapers after 1988.

could he have moved to Newcastle ? and had a son ?

You can name parents and siblings or children who are deceased to start looking for connections

An internet search for the term "electoral registers" will show a few options which can be searched online by name, probably for a fee.
There are some historical electoral rolls on some family history websites which can be searched by surname.
Staffordshire library & archive service has electoral registers for Staffordshire. Electoral registers are arranged by constituency and then by ward. Search for "Staffordshire electoral registers".

The deceased sibling mentioned in the opening post is on a couple of trees on Ancestry. One has only him + his parents. If they are someone else's trees and not yours, you could contact the tree owner, if you're a member.

Using https://www.192.com/people/search/ you can enter the surname and for free, view where the names appear in the country. Paying a small fee will give you actual addresses.

Carole's tip in reply 12 is a quick & easy method. It has an "Advanced Search" option which allows you to enter more information on the search form. You probably won't need the advanced search with such an uncommon surname; it won't take you long to skim results of surname search.
The website has 2021 electoral register.
One thing to remember is that 21st century electoral registers searchable online are likely to be edited versions not full versions. People can opt out of the edited version which can be sold to commercial companies. Explanation here:
