I am trying to find any information on my late husband's relative Jane Ellen Roberts .All we know is that she lived in Leamington Spa in the 1940's and she was a Domestic Help.

Was Roberts her maiden name?

How was she related to your husband?

When was she born?

Rose

Researching:
I am not related to you and I'm not your husband's first wife!

Hi Rose I believe Roberts was her maiden Name .
She was his birth Mother and that is all we know about her. The reason we are interested is that my daughter and granddaughter have a rare genetic disorder which we believe came from his side of the family .
I got the information on Jane from his birth cerificate We are interested because there may be others in the family with similar symptons . Regards Carol

I can't find a birth for a Jane E. Roberts or a Jane Ellen Roberts anywhere around the area of Warwickshire so I'm not sure how you will be able to find the right one as there are lots of births for Jane E.Roberts.. It is also possible that if the birth of your husband was in the 1940's that she was already married as a lot of people during the war gave birth to children who were not their husband's - which could be a reason for him being given up.

If your husband was adopted has he got his adoption file and does it give any more information?

Hi Unfortunalty his adoption papaers were distroyed in a house fire and because he has passed away it is proving difficult to get any further with finding anything out without it costing a fortune . We know hid birth name was Derick Roberts from his birth certificate and from his adoption papers which i remember seeing . Do you know if Warks record office have voters lists from that time regards
