Has anyone out there got any info, however remote, regarding the above named lady who was adopted at birth but seems to have disappeared completely. Her adopted name would be ideal but ANY info would be appreciated.

I'm afraid there's no way we can find out what her adopted name might be.

Any record of her, after her birth cert , will be in her adopted name, which we don't know.

If you are a birth relative, you can add your name to the Adoption Contact Register, for a fee of £30.

Then if Kay also registers with them, looking for her birth family, you may be put in touch with each other.

It's a gamble, but you may feel it's worth it.

Don't delete this thread!

Even years from now, she may happen upon it herself and get in touch with you - not very likely, but you never know.

With that in mind, make sure that you keep your contact details up-to-date with GR , so that they can pass on any message to you.

Also keep an eye on this thread now and then, in case she adds a reply , as GR will NOT notify you of additions to the thread.

I see you have her listed in your tree.
At some time, she may start searching, so keep checking members' trees on here.

As ArgyllGran says, without a name to search, we can't really help.
