The thread shown by Reggie above has been deleted.

But here's another one:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/genealogy_chat/thread/1338235

Best to keep everything on here, and not add to that other one.

This is what Jane says:

"I started the end of February looking for a family i have never known and i hardly knew where to start looking but with a little help from others here i believe i have found my parants ,grandparants, and great grandparants even seen the faces of some of them with the photographs kindly placed on the sight. It is quite exciting i never thought i would ever see my own mothers face i am so grateful to everybody who helped. But although i have found most of my sisters and brothers there as been one i was told about as a child i have not been able to find. To my knowledge her name was Patricia known as patsy i am not convinced that the Lilian M.R. Gorton Clark is her as Mrs Gorton had a daughter and i think it might be her own daughter this is the one suggested was Patricia. She is Watterson, Clark and born the same year 1941 and i can not find a Patricia. This one was born in Wolverhampton and now lives in Cheshire or so i believe. I am not after making contact with her just adding that lost link to those i have already found. Can you help?. Thanks"

The 1944 births in Wolverhampton are also interesting.....both Clark, both Watterson MMN, both same quarter both Wolverhampton but seemingly different references.

Jane there is a lot of information you could use to build a picture. You appear to have three half-siblings born in Warrington and a sister, born a year earlier than you, who may or may not have been a full sister. And possibly two other siblings.

Your mother appears to have gone back to Warrington and to have been maybe reconciled with Clarence (to have been buried with him).

Why you were adopted and your elder sister was first fostered and then reconciled with your mother is not something that any of us can help with.

Just be aware that there are obviously some very raw emotions - even over half of a century later.

There is no reason to assume that Nellie was actually living with this man..........although, of course she could have been.

If she was, and her husband was serving his country - where were her older children?

Suggesting looking at ER's is not appropriate..........this was during the WAR

If he isn't named on your birth cert, you have very little chance of findiing out your father's name........

I hope you do actually have your birth cert?

Or , at least, your adoption papers..............

Flip Report 2 Feb 2014 13:13

Jane, if you birth certificate gives an address for your mother, it could be worth checking it out on the electoral rolls a couple of years either side of your birth to see who she was living with.

I think your sister married again in 1986, judging by the christian names, and may now be going by the name Edwards

To Jax it occurd to me that the affair nellie Clark had with my father may have taken place whilst Mr Clark was at war in the military.

Jane Report 2 Feb 2014 12:56

Reggie i put together Clarance Clark and Nellie Watterson who marriad in 1926 and it all adds up making interesting reading, at least finding my mothers family tree. She must have lived with the other man a while (my father) and i dont think there is any way of finding his name unless some one who knew about the affair and knew him was willing to talk.

Jane

Jane Report 2 Feb 2014 12:11

Jude i wont find out who my father was just who her husband was. I was a skeleton in the cupboard for the Clark family so it was cold comfort for me to want to know much until now. She must have had an affair lasting a while because my sister looks like me i have seen photos of her, we were described as two peas in a pod. She was allowed to see my sister but not me my step mother would not allow her near me. She went back to Mr Clark after a while and Patricia was accepted into the family or so it seems. A few years ago i tried to find out where my mother and sister were and i received a hostile phone call telling me i did not exist the man would not listen to me and appeared quite violent. After that i was followed in my car and received endless anonymous phone calls over years. I am finding some pleasure in piecing the family together now but i know i would never be welcome.

I have pm'd Jane and asked all these questions - Reggie you can see why I asked you if her name was an anagram of Jane :-) - I am mindful that if we are now correct in surmising the 1940's birth dates, that we are dealing with a lot of living relatives who may know nothing of the events - especially if all the Clark/Watterson births are Nellie and Clarence
