I have since found out that I had an older half brother called Ricardo (Ricky) Johnson and an older half sister called Karen L Johnson who were also handed over to social services in Ipswich when they were weeks old. Both my half brother and half sister were adopted by US Service men and their familys who were posted at Bentwaters and Woodbridge U.S. bases in Suffolk. This is where the trail has run cold. My mother's full name is Lillian (Lily) M Johnson D.O.B. 05/12/29 and her last known whereabouts were in Ipswich in 1961 I do know that she married a man from one of the U.S. bases who's name was Sgt Johnson. My father's name was Stanley Coombes which he changed to Stanley Smith when he entered this country. I have been able to find out that he died in 1969, but he did have a sister who I am eager to trace. Her name is Margaret (I assume she was also named Coombes and changed her name upon entering this country) and I have been told that she moved to Canada in the sixties, but I have not been able to find out any more than that. Other family on his side that I know about are his cousin Joe ? who lived in Ipswich(1977) dad also had a niece called Jackie Coombes she doesn't live in this country.

Due to a recent health scare and my foster mother passing away almost ten years ago, I feel it is now the right time in my life to find any family I might still have.

There is more details on these people and others I would like to meet on the family info page.

If you know or knew any of these people then please e-mail me by clicking on the contact page.
