Have just found out that my great grandmother was probably illegitimate and then adopted. Is there any way of finding out who her parents were? Her adopted name was Florence Elizabeth Cooper and she was born c1883/4 in Folkestone Kent. I can find no birth ref for her under this name - where would I find a reference? Lorraine
