i have asked not getting much luck

You need to be looking at Irish records then don't you? maybe someone out there can help with that?

she was definetly adopted and taken to ireland my grandad was told and sadly the relative whom told him has passed away. Yes Gwendoline Nunn is correct mother address is correct also def right certificate and birth

no death of a 'Coonah' between 1984 and 2004 on Ancestry.

Am i assuming you know that Gwendoline Nunn is the Mother who you expected on the cert? are you sure its the person you were looking for-and what made you think she was adopted?

not too sure if could be her she was adopted to ireland and the familoy heard name change to clodaugh how true name change is unknown

Again another long shot: On Ancestry website: NEW YORK PASSENGER LIST Name Arrival Date Estimated Birth Year Gender Port of Departure Place of Origin Ship Name View Ship Image View Passenger List COONAH Keisnor date year location location ship name Again havnt got access to see details but she came from Liverpool so a very Long shot. Description: This database is an index to the passenger lists of ships arriving from foreign ports at the port of New York from 1851-1891 and '''1935-1938'''. In addition, the names found in the index are linked to actual images of the passenger lists. Information contained in the index includes given name, surname, age, gender, arrival date, port of arrival, port of departure and ship name.

ok i see it il see if anyone has credits for another site maybe thanks for your help

Hi, sorry dont know that much about it but I think you have to contact the Hackney Social Services department. You might want to try this: I did a name search for just the first name Coonah on the tracesmart.)co.uk website and it comes up with one match on the 2005 and 2006 electoral roll but I dont have credits to see if its her or what her surname is, its not Nunn as I tried that. She might have married? A Long shot I know but might be worth a try as its an unusual name Take out bracket after the full stop if you want to check it out. www.tracesmart.)co.uk Suzanne

hi thanks for info have contacted st barts they have a gap in their records for hackney hosp from 1924 to 1931 so no help there. i didnt know the name as i say there was only one that could of been her and lucky was. How do i go about the adoption records

Just an afterthought. Hackney Hospital records are held at St Barts Hospital which you can search. You might strike lucky with their records if she was taken away sraight away. http://www.bartsandthelondon.org.uk/aboutus/st_bartholomews_hospital_archives.asp Suzanne

Did you know that adoption records from 1930 are now 'OPEN' as they only have a 75 year closure period. You would have to prove a boniafied interest though to see them. Suzanne X

What I mean is how did you know to loo for that name in the first place? Sorry realise now you must of got it word of mouth? Suzanne

I only got her name from searching the indexs for the period 1925 to 1935 found only one it could be applied for the cert and referenced that it had to be a girl born to gwen nunn and i got cert today.

Can I ask how you got the name of Coonah Patricia Nunn to start with? You must have traced it somehow or from documents of some kind? Doesnt that shed any light on whether she changed her name at adoption? Suzanne

excuse me for being thick,but what marks do birth certs have on them when the child is getting adopted?

Hi all some of you may know that i put a thread on hear before asking peoples opinion on the name Coonah being male or female. Well i recieved the birth certificate today and it is indeed the one im looking for Coonah Patricia Nunn was born to Gwendoline Nunn in May 1930 at Hackney Hospital London. Only trouble is she was adopted soon after no details i have but the certificate doesnt have the marking on it that shows adoption. I contacted the GRO and they said its either been missed but the likely hood is its a ellgal adoption or long term foster. I am desperite to get help with this as she still could be alive. Its possible she still was a NUNN and i am needing much advice and help. Please Please Please. x
