Find Living Relatives

I was born in Somerset to an Emily Elizabeth Durk from Shepton Mallet. I was adopted at 2 weeks. She i know is dead but does anyone know of any of the other family members. this happened in 1948. Caroline.

Get your file from social services - it may hold clues. Might come as a bit of a shock to subsequent children, finding her name here. Please tread carefully

Will send you birth and marriage details of other children

If you search the trees for the three people I have given you...you will find a few people who have them in their trees...

As these children were a fair bit older than you, there does'nt look like there are any others as she was 46 when she remarried

Emily's maiden name was Milsom:

Marriages Dec 1930
Durk Ronald R Milsom Bristol 6a 381 MILSOM Emily E Durk Bristol 6a 381

Looks like she was born in 1910 in Bristol.

Have you seen this?

Scroll down and look for the posting by Paul.

Rose

Can you find anything on Ronald... Rose... I can only find a marriage for him.

Wondering whether he was an overseas serviceman who dissapeared during the war Years and Emily remarried in 1956

jax

I think this could be him as there might be an error with the marriage transcription:

Births Jun 1910
DURK Royston Donald Wells 5c 405

The posting by Paul calls him Donald and there's another posting here where he's referred to as Royston:

http://m.genesreunited.com/boards.page/board/ancestors/thread/562674

He remarried in 1948.

Rose

Lots of info. if you Google Royston Durk.

Rose

Well done Rose thats my theory out of the window then... they must divorced then prior to Caroline being born

jax

Found Mervyn with MMN transcribed as Melsom.

Rose

Paul seems to think there was a Gareth too.

Rose

Have sent Mervyns birth and marriage details along with the two other older siblings.....not seeing a Gareth

That second link was by someone called Robert...again another old thread wonder if they still have the same email address?

jax

I see you had another account a couple of years ago Caroline

Please give us the info you know...it now looks like we have wasted our time looking up info you already knew about the other three children

Not a good idea to try to pull a fast one on here!!!!!

Thanks Caroline for your messages now telling me you had the infomation.

I could of saved my self some time and not bothered looking

re the electrol roll...Just because someone is now not on it does not necessary mean they are dead.

I didn't get any messages :-(.

Rose

Did you send any pm's Rose?

I believe Caroline has read the thread so it would be a good idea if she also posted here

Caroline, you seem to know quite a lot.
People are rarely adopted at 6 weeks, the legal process takes longer than that, at least 6 weeks.
Caroline tells me in a message that there is no file- how do you know these bits and peices then? Was this an inter family adoption maybe?


Please tell us all you know, by posting a reply here , then we might be able to pull together & help you some more

Penny

Look at the OTHER threads.

Caroline knows all the names etc.

Adoption could take place before 6 weeks - if the arrangements were in hand prior to the actual birth

And Caroline knows how to reply on here....she did so on her previous posts
