finding unknown fathers

Long story but I have become special guardian to 2 boys both are asking questions as to who their fathers are.

Their mother won't say and over the years has made the boys believe their fathers are no good - not good for them to hear.

Only information I have is I think the oldest boys father was called Connor and he lived in weston super mare. Boy's mother was also living in weston-super-Mare at the time and boy was born in Southmead hospital, Bristol on14th May 2009.

I don't know any name for the other boys father but mother lived in Brinkworth, Wiltshire and the boy was born at The Great Western Hospital, Swindon on 10th August 2012
Any advice or help would be most appreciated, although, sadly, I don't hold out much hope on solving this with so little information. Many Thanks :-)

May be not the right board for this question, perhaps better on Find living Relatives board and delete this one.

Just ginnie is right that this is the wrong board. But it would be utterly amazing if someone came up with the name.
Only the mother knows the truth.

If they had been adults they could have done a genealogical dna test.

Sometimes a child’s middle names are the same as the father but with the mothers maiden name or whatever her married name is/ was at the time of their birth.

If you are a legal appointed guardian you have no rights to seek out such information on behalf of """minors""",,that is not your role and would certainly jeopardise your position.
