Unfortunately it needs to be the exact date - not just the quarter he was born in.  :-\

hi,
I am just wondering why you are looking to track him down, and what your connection is to him?  Sandra, you seem to know he had an alternative name, Blake.  How did you discover this?   Also, how do you know exactly where he was born?
Very interesting,
Thanks
Adrian

Yes, I saw that the estate was featured on Heir Hunters.  I understand he changed his name in Canada, married and had a number of children.  I am his grandson, he passed away in 1998.  I never knew much about him, but just started doing some digging lately.  Would like to know when, and why he changed his name.

Hi Adrian,

Just to confirm that the name Reginald Blake was listed on the border crossing for Reginald in reply 15.
