He doesn't have a particularly uncommon name; he could be living anywhere; if alive and in UK he may have opted out of the public Electoral Roll, and won't be traceable by us from what's available online.

Are you quite sure he's the man born in 1961 in Chorley, or is that just a guess?

Thankyou for the responses.
I am very new to all this and initially started it to find information on my biological dad. I apologise I don't know the ins and outs of who I can and can't add to a tree.
I got told he had a sister called Karen as that's apparently who I'm named after but that could be false information.
Yes, there is still an Alan Unsworth living in Chorley still but it isn't the same one as I went straight to the source. The Alan I'm looking for (or any family of his, apparently he has another daughter) seems a lot harder to get info about.
Maybe not everyone wants to be found ??

Alice Wilding who married Walter Unsworth re-married in 1986, and died in 2000

I see you have added him to your GR tree, which is not allowed for living people unless you have obtained their permission.

Having looked at all the Alan and Kar* Unsworths born in the whole of Lancashire 1950-70 -
NONE of the Alans has a full sister Kar*.

I suppose she might be a half or step sister, but that's impossible to tell from online birth records.

What is your connection to this - presumably living - man?
The one born in 1961 in Chorley does not have a sister Karen(or variant thereof)

Would this man know of your existence?

Welcome to the boards, Caren.

Assuming Alan is still living, there's not much we can post on this public site.
Are you hoping that we can tell you where he is living?

It is highly unlikely that any of the helpers on this site will have any personal knowledge of him.

I can see that his mother's maiden name was Wilding.
There is no birth of a Karon/Karen Unsworth with mother's name Wilding.

If his parents married in Chorley in 1940, they were Walter and Alice.
That seems a long time before a 1961 birth - but not impossible.

There were 5 Unsworth/Wilding children born in Chorley between 1940 and 1970:
Walter, Marion, Christine A, Brian, and Alan.
There were none after Alan.

Hi, I'm looking for more information on an Alan Unsworth. Born 1961 in Chorley. I think his father is Walter and mother Elsie (but not 100%) he has a sister by the name of Karon/Karen. Tia
