  Not sure where to post or even where to look. I am trying to find a relative to our family.

  I am from the UK with an uncle who stayed in Singapore after the WW2 and married and had one daughter. Not had any contact, but as I come to Singapore I wanted to try and locate her.

  Any ideas of where to try would be helpful.

  Thanks a lot

  Tried the phone book - Only details I have are uncles surname Barnes who stayed after WW2 and married a local and had one daughter, but I think she may have married and had children. Probably would be 55 plus, not sure of exact details as my mother ( his sister died 4 yrs ago) I don't know why but I vaguely remember Tampines as an address ( not 100% certain)

  Yes I am from the UK Chin, why did you ask ?

  Any help appreciated

  To add - Uncle is definitely deceased, died in Perth, having left Australia.

  Would only be his daughter now living in SG - not sure how easy it will be make contact,

  Shame really, would like to have found a link - UK family originate from Middx (nr London)

  TS, like dkcx said, you can try putting an ad on newspaper..

   

  or perhaps, you can try approaching this group called crime library? they help ppl to search for missing ppl, lost relatives etc..
