I am trying to find information about Arthur Charles Austin born around 1880 died in sept 1956 in Bristol. He was a civil enginer in India. He was a single man who adopted a child Michael John Austin who was born in Rippon 18/05/1926 and died in Guildford 26/08/65. Michael was married twice - 1x in Leatherhead 1947 - divorced - no details of wife's name or if there were any children from that marriage.
2x Stella Dorothea Rountree - they had 2 sons David (1955) and Stephen (1960).

I am at a loss as to how to find any information re the ' Adoption' - it does seem strange that a single man would adopt a child in the early 1900's.

Any advice would be appreciated.
