I am looking for my father, Christopher Hoy, born 13-02-1920, he was married to my mother Vera for about 5 years when he had a car accident and was brain damaged.This was in Rhodesia now Zimbabwe and was repatriated back to the UK in the latter part of the sixties.I have his birth certificate and their marriage certificate.
I am almost certain that he has passed away but I need to put to rest in my heart what happened to him and hopefully be able to visit his grave and maybe find at least some family members that I can call my own.I have three children and would like to give them some idea as to where they come from as well as myself.
I have tried on numerous occasions to look for him but had no luck when in Zimbabwe, I have now relocated to the UK and hopefully I will find out what happened.
Thank you for your time.

I looked there and unfortunately I am a job seeker and cannot afford the costs and will have to wait until I am more financially secure.
Thank you for your time.

There is a Christopher Hoy born 2/1920 and died August 1990 in Surrey, South Eastern, per Ancestry.com. I hope this helps.
