It looks like Derek had a middle name and married twice.

Have you looked on FreeBMD for possible siblings please?

Have you searched trees on here or tried 192.com or tried Facebook please?

Using the free search on 192.com, Derek appears to be on the current Electoral Roll in Southampton. You need credits to view his full address.

I think extreme caution is needed here

Hi jacqueline.
May I ask why? If Ive done something the wrong way around then I apologise, I thought basically this is what this site is all about, tracing ancestors?

Thanks :-)

Brigette, 192.com is available to anyone with computer access. A simple free search for Hankins in Southampton produced the desired result.

I think, perhaps wrongly, that Jacqueline is warning to exercise caution if you think this man is related to you. If that is the case remember that it is possible that neither he nor his nearest and dearest are aware of any relationship. The situation may prove delicate.
