My cousin’s daughter recently took a DNA test which threw up a surprise relative. My Grandfather had a lady friend (at the same time as he was married to my Grandmother) and, although we all knew her, this new relative appears to have been their secret love child. We don’t know any details about this person except that he calls himself Thomas Ryan. It isn’t known if Ryan is his middle name or his adopted surname. His mother was Mary Hilary Bartle born in Birmingham on 26.09.1915 and she died in Kings Norton, Birmingham 06.05.1995. Date of probate 25.05.1995 Her address was 19 Coleman Court, Grovewood Drive, Kings Norton, Birmingham. My Grandfather’s name was James Henry Corbett of Hollywood Farm, Hollywood Lane, Hollywood, Birmingham. In the 1939 census, Hilary was listed as being at Hollywood Farm and her position in the household was listed as Secretarial. We have searched for our previously unknown cousin on ancestry sites and the only two possible births listed, that would fit the timescale, are Harold Bartle, b, April-June in 1939 and John P Bartle born in Bradford-on-Avon Jan-March in 1944. My cousin’s daughter contacted him, through ’Ancestry’ prior to July 2020 all she had in return was his fledgling family tree that shows the name of his mother and his father as ’not known’ Corbett and his maternal grandparents as ’Not Known’ Bartle and Mary Bartle. We would love to meet him and welcome him into his blood family but are getting nowhere with our search for him. We can only guess at the year of his birth and have no idea of the place or date of his birth or adoption.
