Title: The Reading or Redding family, Holywood
Post by: Amlodhi on Monday 04 August 25 17:58 BST (UK)

I used to know a family in the late 1960s who lived in either Oakley Avenue or Beech End in Holywood, surname Reading or Redding.
Does anyone have any idea what happened to them?

Depending on their ages at that time & given that over 50yrs have elapsed - they may be dead.

If they were young in the 1960's &  likely to still be alive - Rootschat does not allow details of living people here in order to protect their privacy

Ah!  I wasn't aware of that.  Thanks for getting back to me.
Do you know of any other way I could find out?

You could try Social Media. 

Another way would be to check telephone direcories but so many people either use a mobile or are with one of the many landline suppliers so are not in the main directory.

Your profile doesn't give your location but do you live near to those roads - if so - you could try "knocking on doors"
