Hello Sheila,
I havejust come across your post offering help Is there any chance you could help me. I have been searching for a sister that my mother had adopted . Her birth name was Patricia Ann Sheath, born 21st Aug 1937 in Southampton. I do have her birth certificate now and on it is our mothers name Mabel Sheath formerly Bushnell
My mother was widowed at the time. Myself and my 2 siblings who are still living would dearly love to meet Patricia and although I have searched for nearly a year now just do not know where to go from here. I assume her name was changed when adopted and do not think I am allowed to apply for an adoption certificate do you know if this is the case.
I would be grateful for any advice from you
kindest regards Doreen Skeggs (Watts) watts being my mothers name when she remarried after giving up Patricia.

hI Sheila,

I would love to find help on both sides of my family but mailnly my father. His name was Stanley Bremner and he was born in on 29th April 1930 in Thread Street, Paisley. He maintained that he was adopted and never kept in contact with his family. He married my mum Sheila Osborne on September 25th sometime in the 50's. Sheilas parents were Daisy Osborne (nee Cronk) and Albert Osborne. I would really appreciate some help in this daunting task. Thank you

Hi Sheila

Please could you look for my great grandfather James Reed in Irish parish records. I have his birth as 22 Aug 1875 in Monaghan. His Royal Irish Constabulary Record is all i have on him.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Are you any good with shipping records to Canada or canada archieves - I just cant get their systems. We have a lot of data but cant seem to trace them. Does not help that it is Robinson married to a smith.
