Looking for our dad

*edit* Thank you to everyone who commented. Unfortunately it was not the outcome we had wanted and have been informed that a gentleman we believe to be our dad has passed away. Thank you all so much for your help.

Hi its a long shot but after some investigation we believe our dad moved to Benidorm some years ago. Unfortunately for myself my mum. Wasn't a fan of me seeing my dad so I haven't since I was 8. If anyone has any information relating to a Brian Brooke (maybe going by Chapman) he would be about 65...

Hi,

I have lived in Benidorm for a few years and of a similar age. I don't know anyone going by either of those names but here it's often first names only.

If you have any other information which might help let me know. 

What makes you think he is here in Benidorm, and do you know which area?

I'll certainly start asking about. 

What is your first name and your age please?

Hi

Hope you find him I don’t use it myself have you tried Facebook ,

Thank you. I'm afraid we have both looked extensively on Facebook with no joy! However that's how my brothers found me many years ago so that was a bonus! I'm heading to 40 and my brothers older. We want nothing from him just to know he is alive and well and potentially have a conversation.

Hi

Ok, he could be back in England

Hi,

Yes that could be true especially if he didn't bother getting residency, as many people didn't. However I will be visiting a couple of local expat bars tomorrow evening and I will ask some long time residents if they know him. I will update tomorrow night.
