Hi,
Thanks very much Gardener, Annie and Bill for your replies and help, very speedy responses!!
There is no father named on my Dad's birth certificate so I know I've got my work cut out for me!
Thanks for the links Annie, I have previously posted on GItrace but I haven't seen the other two before, so I'll definitely have a look.
Thanks for the Curious Fox link Gardener. I signed up a few weeks ago and funnily enough the lady that submitted the Plant post is married to my Dad's nephew! She was the first family contact I found on my search and said that none of the family knew about my Dad (his mother gave him up for adoption when he was about 5 months old). His birth Mother died in the 80's and as you say Bill may well have taken her secret to the grave. Hopefully, there is still someone in the area who remembers the war time gossip and can tell me what happened! I might have to take a trip from Manchester to Staffs and see if I can loosen lips with a pint!

Thanks very much guys!

Hi,
I'm researching the family history of my Dad who was born at Ridgefields Farm, Biddulph Moor, Staffordshire in December 1945. His mother was Mona Bailey Webb nee Battersby and I believe that his father may have been an American GI (possibly African-American) stationed in Biddulph Moor at the time but I have no idea of the regiment/battalions of any Americans based there.
Could anyone help, please?

Thanks!
Julie
