Family documents all destroyed.

[Peter James]

My family documents were all destroyed by my mother prior to her
death. She had a form of dementia I think.
The point is in order to trace my father's family I have to start from
his birth, for which I have the certificate after tracing him on
FreeBMD. Luckily he was born in February 1901 so he appears on the
census of that year along with his mother and father. Using FreeBMD I
found he also had a brother born in 1902 for whom I can find no death
certificate after that date. My father, to complicate the matter,
changed his name by deed poll in 1941 from his birth name of
Guglielmazzi to James.
So my questions are:-
1. As I can find no trace of his brother under his birth name,
excepting for his birth, and assuming his brother changed his name by
deed poll, how do I proceed from here?
2..In order to check on the possibility of other siblings is there any
alternative to checking the Government Birth/Marriage/Death indexes?
These are available to me at the local Family History Society in
Truro. But if there is a quicker way I would be pleased to hear of
it.
Many thanks.

Obviously he doesn't want you to find him so stop worrying about it & GO
FISHING.

There must be a more appropriate group where you could ask this question.
I can't imagine what sort of bait you need to use to find him, or how far
you'd have to cast.

I just don't know how that happened. I am subscribed to
uk.rec.fishing.sea and I can only assume that somehow Agent sent the
posting to the incorrect NG. It never did appear on
soc.genealogy.britain until I re-sent it after my mistake was made
obvious. So, once again, "GROVEL GROVEL GROVEL".
