Have you tried freebmd

Use the Christian name a birth area and see what comes up

But too be mind full that this could be a very delicate situation as you don’t know the circumstances behind the birth .

It could be opening old wounds and not as happy as you would like !

Did your father give any indication of the mother's name, and do you know if he kept in contact with mother and child?

Will send you some possible birth information by private message.

Have also sent possible address for someone who could be Ross's mother. Have urged caution.

Shirley,

The birth looks to be in 1981 and he was also registered under the mother's surname.
