Hello, Wonbatz

This might help

GRO birth registration entry

Christopher R. Tungate
Dec ¼ 1951  Lichfield  9b  250
mother's maiden name   Derry.

If you obtain this birh cert it will probably give you a home address that you may be able to follow up thro' Electral Rolls which will be held at the main Record Office for the area.

Certs can be orderd online at

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

A trawl thro' the birth registrtions for the surname Tungate will show any further children born to this couple as the mother's maiden name will be shown.

Good luck,

Meliora

Welcome, Wombatz, I hadn't realised you were a newbie. We are here to help.

I did a trawl thro' the complete GRO birth entries1953-1962 without finding any siblings for Christopher, I then went on to look at the marriages 1972=1981 found the following.

Christopher Tungate =  Gillian M. Bell
Dec ¼ 1980  Norwich  10  1452

Probably not the district you would have expected but it may be the reason you have not found anything for the family in Shropshire.  A sight if this cert will tell you if it is your Christopher as father's name will be shown.  Again an address should be shown that could be a help in a search, like 'phone books.  For instance, in Aug 1981 there are 39 Tungates listed in the 'phone book for Norfolk of whom 19 are in Norwich.

Good hunting,

Meliora

Thank you, Ive noticed a few Tungates in that area whilst searching so maybe that's my next route.
Appreciate your help.

Do these Tungates have any relation to the huge family of tungates in Norwich and surrounding areas? I keep coming up with Norwich based Tungates whilst searching, do I discount these do you think?
thanks

Wombatz, I have no knowledge of a Norwich connection, but there may be. Phil.
