I have birth certificates for 2 siblings both adopted in same place both to local families,and remained there,

but two different Sup Registars appear after wording--Adopted,,!!

Births (not adopted)

Registration District Preston in the County Borough of Preston 1944
Registrar F. Beardwood.

Registration District of Preston 1967
Deputy Superintendent
Registrar N.J. Tolson

Registration District Coventry in the County Borough of Coventry 1948
Registrar CG Caffelle

Hope this helps

Cheers Gerry

My birth certificate has an official stamp on it next to the Registrar's signiture, showing i was adopted in Bristol East

If anyone has a birth certificate for someone who was adopted and it gives the name of the Registrar next to the word adopted can they add it below. It would be great if we could work out where that Registrar was because then we would probably find what area an adoptee went to. Just an idea that could help people seeking others.

Gerry mentioned that any registrar could be noted whether the child be adopted or not, so any information available would be great. Registrar's name(title - eg superintendent registrar)/ area/ year would be most helpful.


example: P Cottrill (officer deputed by Registrar General) - adoptee was adopted in 1989 in Rugby.

Leyton, when was you father born? Adoption only became possible in 1927. Prior to that things were much more informal.

Registration District Wrexham in the County of Denbigh. 1957
Deputy Superintendent Registrar: Geoffrey Fisher

Edit ***My brother was born in Wrexham Wales and adopted in Hyde, then Cheshire. Wrexham and Chester/Cheshire is not far from each other... but technically different countries***

Registration District Carisle in the County Borough of Carisle. 1972
Registrar: A Glacross

Also, W J Fidler Superintendent Registrar 1972 Carlise.

Good thinking 99 :-)

Registrar in adoption column reads:

E. ? Dennis (Superintendant Registrar)- adoptee was adopted in Liverpool South (Wavertree) 1943.

The second initial is too smudgy to read. If you would like a copy, please pm me.
