So I have the parents marriage certificate. It arrived today.

That hasn't given me any more clues really.

The mother was born in Scotland on 1952. Age 16 when she married in 1968

Witness at wedding not listed on any electorial registers.
Father of bridge listed in Scotland and died in 2004.
No one at addresses of couple with similar or familiar names.
No same name at father's address of death.

Now I have confirmed parents marriage. I have applied for Michele's birth certificate for dob and am.hoping if adopted it will tell me.

Is there anywhere else I can look please?
Where would you recommend I search for Michele please.

Thanks on advance

If she was adopted, there's no way you (or we) can find her online.

If her mother kept her, and later remarried, Michele's surname may have been changed to that of the stepfather.

Does the marriage cert give the mother's middle name - which might help find a remarriage?

Have you or any other family member registered with the Adoption Contact Register, in case she was adopted and might be looking for her birth family?

There were 4 Ann M Sinclair births registered in Scotland - 2 in 1951, with middle names Margaret and Morrison, and 2 in 1952 with middle names Margaret and MacDonald.

Is Michele's middle name Ann?

The father didn’t re-marry, so you need to consider that there wasn’t a divorce, which would mean the mother couldn’t legally re-marry (as I said earlier). She could, though, have changed her surname and that of Michele to fit with a new ‘partner’
She could have returned to Scotland………..

I have the parents marriage certificate and Michele's birth certificate but can't see any clues.

I have traced Anns family to Scotland and no siblings/ aunts uncles/ cousins. Still no clues.

Ann's family died in maidenhead and Bracknell.
Addresses were council houses so now relocated and no family there.

Still no trace of Ann or Michele after 1969. This is what I am looking for.

Ann MacDonald cole born 1952 Scotland. Loving 60 Sunderland road, maidenhead in 1969. Daughter of Alexander Mitchell Sinclair.

Michelle Ann cole, born 5th April 1969 at hospital in Windsor(70 Alma road, Windsor). Daughter of Ann cole nee Sinclair and Ronald cole.

I have Ronald and his other family. Nothing on Michele since 1969.


Looking for Michele...
Anything after her birth.
