Does anyone know of the whereabouts of a David Burnett born in 1950 in the Smethwick/Bearwood area, He has a sister Barbara, their fathers name Morris Burnett, Morris was my cousin. David could be the last in the line of Burnett's before our line runs out. It would be good to make contact before it does.

Sadly it's possible that David (Alan?) died in 2016, reg. Dudley. Can't be certain but there are only 4 birth reg's for a David A Burnett 1949 - 1951 and the other 3 are all in the north.

He may have married twice but there doesn't appear to have been any children from either marriage.

Thank you Janice, you are correct with your info, that is the same family. I am hoping to eventually make contact with David to see if there is any extension on his side of the family. Thank you for your time and trouble.

There are 2 possible probates in Birmingham. Wills/probate can be bought for both. This may help identify whether he has died and who benefitted - they might still be alive.


You can buy these from

Search probate records for documents and wills (England and Wales)

probatesearch.service.gov.uk

You need to register but that is free. Documents cost only £1.50 each.

The first of those is unlikely as I think that David was born in 1940 but the second was born in 1950

Thank you Janice, the David Alan seems to be the one I was looking for. I will try the Probate to see if he had any children. Thank you for time and trouble

Thank you for your info, I will try the probate record, but I am pretty sure that is the one I was looking for. Thanks for your time and trouble

Thank you for your reply. Yes he was married twice, and I have just found out he may well have died in 2016,, I am just about to send for the will from probate at Find a will, (I am already registered) but thank you for your time and trouble.
