adopted brother?

[jackscrafty]

Hi i was told a few years ago that i may have a half brother somewhere, i am not sure if this is true or not i cannot get any truth from my biological father who refuses to talk about it so it may be a load of hot air, the only details i have is my fathers name and the possible mothers name . i am so curious as to whether there is someone out there related to me as grew up an only child so would love a sibling if he exists. the details i have are as follows
father : william paterson
mother : margaret paterson.
they did live in livingston,scotland for a while but then they moved to london where they owned a pub called "the bunch of grapes" i know the details are sketchy but this is all i can get out of them, my grandmother is called elizabeth paterson who also lived in livingston. if any one has any details at all i would be so grateful as i just want to put this one to rest i would love to meet him if he exists.

Have you tried genes reunited, you can search a number of ways on there..also try friend reunited you can put the name of pub in some times that will come up or you could search by using schools in that local area for that time. Another idea would be to ring the pub or the brewery to find out the detals of the previous owners...Just a few ideas hope they help xxx

Hi, I know a few years have passed since you posted this and I hope you may have your answers since then. I reply in case you have not.
I knew a Scottish couple, Bill and Margaret Paterson who managed (not owned) a pub called the Bunch of Grapes, 2 St Thomas St, London Bridge, SE1 in the late eighties. I knew this couple reasonably well until they left this pub and as far as I knew they were childless. They had a golden labrador dog. The pub is now owned by Youngs brewery but was not at the time.

I knew a Scottish couple Bill and Margaret Paterson who managed (not owned) a pub The Bunch of grapes on St Thomas St, London Bridge, SE1. I knew this couple reasonably well for a period of around 2 years in the late eighties until they left the pub. I believe they were childless, their was nothing to suggest otherwise. They had a golden labrador dog. The pub is now owned by Youngs brewery but it was not at the time. Hope this is of help.
