Hi Jonesey,

Thanks very much once again. Your help has been very much appreciated, and quite informative regarding the birth registration, so thanks for that little gem, explains a lot.

I have passed on the info you have given me and he says he's going to contact Soc Services in the New Year.

Many many thanks again, and we'd like to wish you and your family a very Happy Christmas and All the Very Best for a Happy New Year.

Doreen,

I have to admit that your post has me a little confused. You state that you are trying to trace your mother in law but you already appear to have quite a lot of information about her past already. Is it her that you are trying to trace her or is it her birth ancestors that you wish to find more about?

Is she is still alive and if so are you in contact with her?

Researching:
Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow.

Dawnee,

If you’re a birth relative of an adopted person, you can add yourself to the Adoption Contact Register to express an interest in finding your family.

Go to: https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records

Good luck
