got the adoption certificate today for Philip just told us what we already new so no news to report on that front

have sent you a message.

If someone can do current electoral lookups, there is a Philip that might be worth contacting.

If you order Daisy's death cert (not sure if you can obtain one for so recent), it should give you her date of birth. Which will you give you more to search from.

Or you could try contacting a descendant, if there are any clues in her death announcement.

If Daisy Lidlow was also adopted, Daisy is possibly not her real name.

this is the marriage quarter for William James Lidlow and Edith Emma Portsmouth incase you dont have it.

Name: Edith Emma Portsmouth and William James Lidlow
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1907
Registration district: Sevenoaks
Inferred County: Kent
Volume Number: 2a
Page Number: 1127

Wow thanks Mavis, it says on the marriage cert that George Henry price was a bachelor, not sure if they would of put widow on it if he had been a widower.

I am beginning to think they were adopted, that's why they adopted children.

William James Lidlow 1882 died 1932 Tonbridge 51y
wife Edith Emma Portsmouth 1880 died 1954

another enigma

witnesses could be Charles Patrick Lidlow 1 Jul 1914 died 1990 and his wife Margaret [Bowes] married 1936

no birth for Charles Patrick Lidlow but like Daisy May there is a birth Sep Q for a Charles P Wardell mth Wardell

are William and Edith unable to have their own family and " Adopted" local babies

in 1911 they have been married 4 y no children but have niece Ena Adeline Orram
Dec Q 1909 daughter of Williams sister living with them

was George Henry Price a widower ?? tree on Ancestry

George Henry Price = Dorothy May Newman 1938 oxon she died 1947 27y
3 children
George henry Price died Tenterden/Ashford 82y birth 4 April 1914 Clun Shropshire
2 of the children may have married in Dover

Mavis

I've got the marriage certificate from 1958, Daisy was age 40 & George was aged 43, so it seems to be the couple. Daisy's father was called William James Lidlow and was deceased at the time, George's father was called James Edward Price and was also deceased at the time. The witnesses for the wedding were an M. Lidlow & also a C.P. Lidlow.

Trying to search for more now but if this info helps anyone else to help me then it will be greatly appreciated , anything to help solve this mystery.

No worries Thank You Autumn leaves, a simple error we've all made them, don't give up. I'm just desperate for help so I can help my wife, who knows what pictures & info Philip or the prices might have if they are still alive.

Patchem and Paul

Oops -sorry this was my first attempt with this type of search.Methinks
maybe I should make it my last!!

Reggie it's not the full adoption records it's an adoption certificate, apparently the equivalent of a birth certificate, you can't view them online yet.

Adopted Children Register: GRO maintains the Adopted Children Register (ACR). The Register contains the particulars of adoptions authorised by order of a court in England or Wales on or after 1 January 1927. The only information that is available from the Adopted Children Register is a certified certificated copy of an entry, which is the equivalent of a birth certificate for an adopted person.

Maybe Genes Reunited should think about having this register on their site

I didn't think that adoption records could be obtained by anyone other than the adoptee?

just ordered marriage certificate for the price's & adoption record for Philip, so at least I will find out if he indeed was adopted by the Price's. Will post more info when I have it, it might be related to something one of you guys might find

yea gonna order the marriage cert today, hopefully that might shred some light, it seems odd that there is no birth cert for philip, even though there was an adoption order with lambeth County court in1962.

Autumnleaves,

Paul has posted that Daisy May was about 47 in 1966, so born about 1919/1918.

Your Daisy would be about 77 in 1966.

Thinking that Lidlow may not have been Daisy Mays maiden name,I searched for Lidlow and just Daisy May-no surname and got the following.

George Stephen Ledlow (it is Lidlow) wed
Daisy Hudson in Islington in 1908 showing on 1911 census

Daisy Lidlow then marries
William Homer in Islington in 1938

There is also a death listed for Daisy Homer age 90 in
Southend -on-Sea - Birth date 14 th Sept.1889
age tallies with the Ledlow- Hudson marriage above and on 1911 census.
Do forgive if my old head has got it wrong

























ages do seem to tally

As brummiejan posted, we cannot see a birth for a Daisy May Lidlow.
Wedding certificate for name of Father would be useful, possibly. Depends if any other leads turn up about Philip.

tony might be philip who has gone back to his orginal name, melloney might be tony's wife, this is a important part of my partners life it would be great to a crumb or too that would lead us in the right direction. Thanks for help so far everyone.
Patchem I am guessing that Daisy maiden name is Lidlow as that was the only wedding i cud find where a daisy married the george henry price

thats my brothers name, how spooky :-0

Yes, sorry, I was side-tracked with the lack of Daisy May Lidlow information.

I was trying to find Tony and Melloney, but did not realise how popular Melloney is.

Worth looking in local newspaper archives for information about Daisy put in by family?
