PHYLLIS NORA BEAN....dob 1928 in South Africa

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

June Report 4 Jan 2017 13:48

Phyllis was born in S Africa in 1928. Thanks to GR help I found this out. She left SA and returned to the Uk in 1954 and lived with my Grandmother in Strood, Kent. She was heavily pregnant and gave birth to a daughter in Feb 1955, in Bushey, Herts.....a girl called SAROJINI BEAN. The child was adopted....mainly because her father was black, and Phyllis had returned to the UK as a single person.
I don't know how to go about finding her through adoption papers?
Also I cannot find any trace of Phyllis....she committed suicide sometime after 1955. All my relatives are now deceased that had any knowledge of Phyllis, and her own family remained in SA.....Durban I think.
I would dearly love to find some closure for Phyllis....just to find her resting place would be so great. And perhaps find out what happened to her daughter.
Many thanks if you can help.

you could put a note on the gro birth ref for Sarojini on Freebmd giving a contact email and saying you would like contact.

theres no way of tracing her without knowing her new name
