Trying to find...

In the hope that this might be picked up on a search engine some day.

My mum is trying to trace her brother.
He was born Christopher Kelvin Newman on 6th September 1945 (06/09/1945) in St Albans, Hertfordshire, UK.

His mother was Elsie Newman (nee Gordon). She was married to Maurice Martin Newman in Tendring, Essex, UK in 1938, but Maurice was absent for an, as yet, undetermined amount of time in the 1940's. During that time Elsie had another child, Jean Christine (my mother) with George Kelvin Sutherland.

There was no father's name on Christopher Kelvin's original birth certificate. Christopher was given his mother's married surname, Newman on his birth certificate, but it's unclear whether Maurice was his father.
We suspect his father was George Kelvin Sutherland, who was in the Royal Corps Signals.

Christopher was adopted and we have no idea what his name changed to, so can't trace him.
