Can anyone help?!
I'm trying to locate my partners father, but only have his name and area lived in?
I really don't have a clue where to start?
Any pointers would be great, thanks.

Depends on the age of your partner.
I 'accidently ' located my daughters partner's mother a few years back. She walked out on the family when he was 5 and no-one had heard from her since!!
I looked up his birth, and it told me her maiden name.
Daughter's partner had 'let slip' where she had been brought up. I looked up the possible schools on Friends Reunited and there she was!!

Unfortunately, my daughter's partner didn't ask me to find his mum, as I said, it was accidental, happened to be bored one day,so I can't tell him.
