joyce greenwood died in the 80s she left me with my dad in Morecambe in 1949 then again took me away in 1950 saying my dad was not my dad.after a few days she again abandoned me and went to live in Portsmouth.I met her years later she was living with a bob Hopkins in Scotland.
my Grandad and step gran raised me with 15 other children, life was hard.
one of the few that is alive and in her 80s , after finding out i was ill told me that my mother had a baby girl in Portsmouth when i was about 5 yrs old , she left her at a police station saying " a girl had had the child and left her at her home"
This was untrue and she was arrested and served 6months in prison for this crime.
I have tried the police in Portsmouth local radio and the news paper but no one seemed interested.
Four years ago i got married and for the first time found my mother was married to my dad due to getting my full birth certifcate.
Since then i have found one half brother and sisters after 59yrs thinking i was an only child.
My father died months before we found them.Now to be told my mother had a second child she also left.
So think she would still be a Greenwood. Regards Allen

Not seeing a birth in Portsmouth. How did you hear about her?

Can you access old newspapers from the time?
