Find Ancestors

thank you for your help very grateful

Patricia should be able to access her adoption file which might help, but other than that not sure what to do.

There are sites you can register on for people looking for each other, but I don't have any experience of that so you would need to look for some previous threads on adoption advice.

sorry patricia was called thomas her married name is blythe

as far as i no she was called mary e thomas when she was born

When Patricia was born, was her surname Thomas or something different? That would give a clue as to whether Mary married or not. (Looking for Thomas in Wales is like ...............................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Carron - do you know that South Wales is the right place to be finding all these people?

yes patricia is looking for mary not edith

Walter's birth - MMN could be wrong in index, or it's the wrong one!

Walter E Thomas
Mother's Maiden Surname: Radmore
Date of Registration: Jan Feb Mar 1928
Registration district: Neath
Registration county: Wales
Volume Number: 11a
Page Number: 1511

yes this looks promising thanks to all of u for your time and help as you can see ive made a few errors all ready and i no your very kind people on gr

Mary's birth - haven't found Walter yet

Mary E Thomas
Mother's Maiden Surname: Blackmore
Date of Registration: Jan Feb Mar 1929
Registration district: Neath
Registration county: Wales
Volume Number: 11a
Page Number: 1376

If we assume the Welsh connection, this could be her birth:

Births Sep 1906
Blackmore Edith Annie Pontypridd 11a 724

so Patricia is actually looking for Mary E Thomas, not for Edith?


Mary would presumably be well over 80 if she is still alive.


The first step would be to see if she is still alive ......... which would mean trawling through the death index on ancestry.co.uk quarter by quarter, year by year, for evey year after she was definitely known to be alive.

Marriages Jun 1927

Carron

I may be being stupid, but the way I read your message is that you are looking for Edith Annie Thomas, maiden name Blackmoore, who was born in 1929 .......... but had a son Walter in 1928????????????????????????



I hope you don't mind, but I have attempted to punctuate your message in an attempt to understand what you know and what you want to know
