Member Since: July 2004 Posts: 8 Send Message	Am searching for any info/relations of Margaret Moran born ANN GREEN in Bellshill Hospital March 27 1946. Her mother was possibly from Lancashire or possibly from Norfolk. England. Margaret/Ann was left for adoption, usual in those days, and was adopted by a Mr & Mrs Brook. Lived in Portsmouth until 4 (1950) then raised in London.She came to Australia in 1969 with her late husband Tom. Bellshill Ho spital was on the outskirts of Glasgow, Scotland at the time. I believe Ann Green`s mother was named Honora Green and was born in the north of England circa1910 possibly in Lancashire or Cumbria. Honora would have been 35 -36 years of age and unmarried. She gave up Ann/ Margaret for adoption . Ann was adopted from a babies home in Norfolk in 1948 at age of 18 months. Margaret`s Mother was possibly a Honora Green born circa 1910 in Lancashire, England. Obviously in her mid thirties Honora may have had a liasion with a man who was married or possibly refused to marry her. and she had no recourse but to adopt baby Margaret (Ann) out, due to the social climate of the 1940`s. There must have been a lot of similar situations post-war.
