Holness

A Memory of Hounslow.

A close friend whose birth mother lived in Hounslow, is trying to trace his father - name unknown.

His birth name was Alan Douglas Holness b 1967 and his mother, Jennifer, lived at 430 Staines Rd. He was adopted by a couple from Colchester and now lives in New Zealand under his adoptive names.
He has traced his mum, who married in the 1980s in Australia but she doesn't want to meet him or give him his father's name.
Jen and the baby's father apparently met while working at a Butlin's Camp 1965/66, possibly Clacton or Bognor Regis. They both loved swimming and she was a factory worker at a Manufacturing Chemists, maybe Parke-Davis?

If you remember the Holness family and are able to supply any information, I will handle it with tact and discretion. As you can imagine, this has been very stressful for my friend and as he will be 52 this year, he feels that time is running out to find his father. He had a wonderful childhood and his adoptive parents and family are backing him all the way. Thank you, Colleen Newton, Auckland, N Z.
