Ancestry have all births up to 2006 transcribed.

Stuart's is the only Bright birth where the mother's maiden name is Mitchelson.

Hi Katy
thank you what site is ancestry? I found Graham H Bright on birth records with mothers maiden name Mitchelson in 1942, I was kinda hoping I ws on the right track with that, however can't seem to find him anywhere?
was really hoping too as he would be a blood relative to my dad and well long story..........but would like to find out about my dad....he died this year and I never really knew him, only met him 3 times.......bit of a character as far as hear say goes!!!
best wishes
Sally

The site is Ancestry.co.uk

It's the site that most people on Genes use for research. It has births, marriages and deaths, census records, military records and so much more.

You can have a 14 day free trial which is well worth it.

There is a lady on the Record Office board called Jean who is offering up to date electoral roll look-ups. She may be able to find him for you.

I've nudged up the thread for you.

Hi Kathy
Thank you for your help,

Can I ask how would look up people who have changed their names by deed poll. The reason I am asking is apparently my dad Stuart Bright, changed his name to John Deane-Armstrong, then he became John Armstrong.........wow what a character!!!!!!!!!!! could any one of really known this man any way????
Thank you
Sally

Are you sure he changed his name by deed poll? It's just that you don't have to do anything official to change your name. As long as you are not trying to defraud anyone you can call yourself by any name you wish.

I'm not sure where you find out about names changed by deed poll if he actually did do this.

Hi Kath
I'm not completely sure actually, I don't think anyone is thats why I really want to get into contact with Graham, although I feel this is unlikely as he is prob in Austalia, I have looked as far as I know how too. he was aboard a ship in 1957 with his mum heading for oz and my half sister has sent a message to G Bright in Oz however I feel there is little hope.............maybe somethings are better left............thank you for all of your advice and help...........best wishes and many kind regards
Sally
