May I ask another question of you all?

How do I find the reference of a birth in 1930? It's for a Cyril Frances and I think it was Woodford Green.

Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I'm new to all this!

Big thanks

Jo

Have been through the complete BMD Index for 1930 and the first quarter of 1931 (to allow for late registration an cant find a Cyril Frances

Thanks Gillian

this is what I was worried about - if he wasn't formally adopted was he ever registered? And if he was registered to a different family how come he still has the Frances surname? It's mind boggling when you get into it isn't it!

It seems far easier going backwards than coming forwards through time.... or maybe it's just me!

Big thanks

Has taken a while but now have a copy of the birth cert for Cyril - he was born 29.10.1930 in Kingswod Forest Rise - registration district West Ham, sub district Walthamstow East, county of Essex.

He was registered as Cyril Frances, no fathers name recorded. Still doesn't answer my questions of being adopted or who took him in!
