Find Ancestors

Hi Gillian,

Have you had much luck in finding anything out? I am extremely interested as I am looking for my aunt who was adopted from birth in 1943 from a maternity home which is proving difficult as her name has changed I believe and the local council offices are ignoring all mails for infomation on whether they have the adoption records as some are held and some are not from that time.

Any help you can provide would be most grateful as you know time is moving on so we would all like to find everyone before it is too late.

Many Thanks

Alicia

Hi sheila thankyou for your reply
Just say my Aunt was never told she was adopted and she hasnt been in touch with any of the places that hasn't been mentioned
when she was getting married well if she was getting married would she use the adoption certificate
also if she wasnt given her birth certificate by adopted parents and she was old enough to get her own
which one would she use for a passport..unless she never travels
I think I will never be able to find her..
I think I will mull my options over for a couple of days
Kind REGARDS
Gillian

Hi Sheila
Thankyou for taking the time to help me ...
My husband was on the internet last night and downloaded a form to fill out and they ask for proof to say who you are and you are a relative...
But do you know wether there is a register that you can view yourself...
I think that one was in southport
I think they are opening a place in manchester but im not sure you can view these yourself..
Kind Regards
Gillian

Hi

Not 100% sure where they are now, will try and find out, they used to be at FRC but they have moved now, think 1 is in GRO Southport but not sure if you can view this one.

Hi Sheila
Thankyou very much for all your help
I was wondering how do I access the Adoption records Do you have any ideas....
Kind Regards
Gillian .

Hi Gillian,

When someone is adopted it is never entered on the BMD's you can access it is only ever entered in adoption register, you already have the place of birth on the orig birth.

Dear ANNIE
Thankyou for all your help you are wonderful..
I was going to sit here and search all pages for 1953
which would have takin me ages and days maybe months
Do you know how I can access the Adoption Records Please...
Kind Regards
Gillian

My mum new parents got her new cert when she was adopted through the court.My mums adopted record is not on these births but in the adoptive records.You can only look that up under the adoptive name and not birth name. Annie

Just spoken to mum and no place of birth on the adoption certficate just date of birth. Annie

Hi Grannie of Ten
I was just wondering how do I find the adoption records as it has to be in the 50s as she was born in 1953...
Also you said your mum was adopted so her original birth certificate record entry will be in the records search on here
Do you possibly know that when she was given a new certificate with new last name was it added in the entrys on these records on this site....
Kind Regards
Gillian Duncan

Hi Sheila
Her birth was registered I know that for sure has I found it and I went to our local Registry office and filled in a form and they gave me the birth certificate entry but before he gave me the certificate he said you do know this chld was given up fr adoption dont you,,,,
So I said yes I did as it does say on the bottom of the cerficate adopted
And he said he would give me the certificate i asked for which was her birth one she was registered in..
Not the adopted one
he only gave me that one as I had mothers and fathers full name and address which was on her birth certifate when she was originally registered
I have looked at the entry as it is in the records on here and there is no markings next to the entry or any on the end of that page been added at the end
so I know its a long shot and maybe it could be on a different page at the end of another one
I just wanted to know wether the area she was originally born in would it be on the adopted certificate as the same pace or not....
Kind regards
Gillian Duncan

Hi Gillian,

You cannot gaurantee she kept her first name, it may have made life easier, but my sister where adopted at 7, one kept her first name one changed it.
Did no think the adoption reg had area of birth only year of adoption new name and year of birth.

Gillian, my mum kept everything except her surname.She even kept her middle name. Good Luck to you. Annie
