So Ellen was admitted to hosp on 2 Dec 1947 in Durham? and Harold was born in Q4 1948 in Manchester. Either she wasn't in hospital long, or again she became pregnant while there. One can only hope that she was acting voluntarily, and not being exploited or left unprotected from abuse ... |

Joonie - you are right about The COIL family. They took in some of the Gray/Betts children as they abondened them. Nancy has been found in Australia and she said had the COILS known about the Betts children in the childrens homes they would have taken them in. They had no idea, all they knew was the Ellen had been locked away and had none of the family spoke of the Ellen having any children. |

The brother who was a toddler in the early 50s whom your mother has been reunited with ... does his birth certificate provide any clue? father's name, did Ellen use her real name on the certificate? |

There are very few deaths for the name Ellen with dob either 3 or 6 June 1922. |

A tree on Ancestry gives a death in 2004 for Norman at Wentworthfalls, NSW with correct dob. However, there are only 2 people in the tree, Norman & Nancy and the owner is inactive. |

It's a good idea Chris, but under FOI they wouldn't be able to release personal data even if she has died - it's too recent for their files to be open to public archive. |

Have you considered writing to social services asking for the information they hold on Ellen Betts under the Freedom of Information Act. If Ellen has died, I cannot see why they wouldn't be able to provide your mum with the information they hold. |

Maybe if we have the right birth date we can eliminate other deaths - you need to order the birth certificate, |
