His name is Christopher or Christos. In 1969 he was 24yrs old and worked as a chef at the wimpy bar, Ealing BROADWAY.  Apparently he was a very nice man, liked a joke and always smiling. He had an older brother and they both did some casual driving too. Christopher or Christos apparently had a room in the Shepherd’s Bush area. He met my mother and they had a relationship for about 6 months.”Bev says she discovered she had been adopted by accident and her birth mother Linda Olive Millsom had never told her father that she was pregnant.” My dad has 4 beautiful granddaughters that he also doesn’t know about.. It’s so sad. If anyone can remember hanging out in those days or even knew any of his friends or even the first letter of his surname would be fantastic..I so desperately want to find my dad, my father, my roots.”Additional info:The owners of the wimpy back in 1969 have a son called "Ali" his number is xxxxxxx and was going to find out who his parents sold the wimpy to next as they may remember him.Another lady contacted me and said " Ok I lost all contact with Chris a couple years ago the only thing I can suggest that you call the salon he used to own, its now called Class".More infoHi In 1969 he was 24yrs old.he had a room in the shepherds bush area.dont know his older brothers name but they both did some casual driving.
