Hi Rose,
Many thanks for this information - I've followed the link and the it certainly seems a feasible possibility.
I've now got a couple of leads to follow thanks to you ladies and to Fred so many, many thanks to you all. I've appreciated all the help, suggestions and advice you've given me
I will 'come back' to the site to let everyone know whether my quest has been successful.
Kind regards and thanks
Sue

Susan,

There was a son born in the correct district in 1970. He's on 192.com
Middle name is the same as Maureen's dad's middle name so I think he must be Maureen and Colin's son.

You can get more details of the address here.

That sounds feasible and may give me another option to see if anyone has them on their tree so subsequently can ask 'maybe' a family member ....
Thanks again Rose for your help and advice
Kind regards
Sue

Did Maureen and Colin have a son?

Rose

This looks to be Maureen's parents:

Marriages Jun 1934
Carney Jessie Staples Middlesbro' 9d 1430
Staples Alec V Carney Middlesbro' 9d 1430

Thanks for your further advice, Rose.
Think Colin's middle name may be Gilbert but other than details of their marriage in 1968, I don't seem to be able to find further details of them either .....

Not seeing any Smith children with MMN born in Middlesbrough.

Colin has the middle initial G though.

Rose

Thanks for the suggestion but another family member has tried that and has also written a letter to the last known address (1988) but no success .... . Have found that Maureen Staples married a Colin Evans (such a pity that both 'girls' married into families with 'common' surnames

Have you tried the street search option on FR? You might locate a neighbour at least.

H Rose,
Sarah Jane's mother was called Maureen Staples and Sarah was not adopted. Sarah and her mother lived in the Middlesbrough area and Sarah married Andrew John Smith on 30th July 1988 at St. Barnabas Church, Middlesbrough.

I see her mother was unmarried at the time so odds are her surname changed.

Do you know her mother's name? Was Sarah adopted? More info. would help.

Rose

Have tried both those options but with no success - am running out of ideas ......

What about friends reunited and facebook?

Yes had long communication with one possibility but she proved to be a 'different' Sarah .......

Have you looked in 'search trees' on here?

Sarah Jane Staples was born at Middlesbrough on 4th July 1966 and relatives in Australia would love to get in touch with Sarah.
Any information would be so much appreciated.
Many thanks
