Looking for John Brendan Boyle was married to Norma Jean Gloria Sidoli

[chris boyle]

All i know is his name is John Brendan Boyle as I was placed in an orphanage - St Vincents - Mill Hill when I was about 2 years. My birth mother Norma Jean Gloria Sidoli emigrated to the US and my father who was John Brendan Boyle was at her majestys pleasure. on leaving the orphanage I was fostered into a lovely family but would like to know if my birth father is still alive. Don't have any date of birth details or addresses which i am finding very hard to trace him. He may be deceased now. I know he used to frequent the east end of London so he may have lived there. On my birth certificate it states that my birth parents lived at 431 Caledonian Rd, that's where the info ends. If anyone can help

Hi Dot, got one birth cert through - norma jean sidoli and waiting for 6 other bdm certs to arrive, in the meantime sorry to be a pain but i have tried searching for prison records for john brendan boyle but don't know where to go without having to pay more money. Pentonville and any other prisons local to that. I'm sure the nuns in the home told me at one stage that he'd gone away and i found out years later that 'away' was prison. I also know that at some stage he was in the merchant navy which may have why there was a gap in the brothers being born. Going thru records on genes reunited I have also found out that norma jean sidoli had an elder sister marguerite who was born in holborn 2nd quarter 1930 but tried to trace her and can't find her anywhere (obviously she married so don't know her new name)

Hi Chris
There are other sources you could try rather than prison re4cords. The majistrates courts would likely have dealt with the case, and though they are closed for a number of years they should now be available in the county record office covering the area, will have to chack which that is, also, newspapers may also have covered the case as a news item, they should be filmed and available in the local reference library. It will mean checking out which library it is, depending on which Borough they lived in, but that would be an easier search.
