Thankyou so much for this help Sylvia! I will try to hunt for elsa's birth cert now!
As for Verna Scrivens (my fathers sister) I have been unable to find anything other than a birth certificate - I suspect her name was changed when she too was adopted. Is there anyway to hunt down further information here? Or is it a dead end?

IF Elsa's parents were indeed Ernest Edward Scrivens and Annie Emma, then he died "on war service" in early 1939 .................. the following is his Probate Record from ancestry
England & Wales, National Probate Calendar (Index of Wills and Administrations), 1858-1966 about Ernest Edward Scrivens
Name: Ernest Edward Scrivens
Probate Date: 22 Apr 1940
Death Date: 8 Sep 1939
Death Place: Birmingham, West Midlands, England
Registry: Birmingham, England
from the image:-
of 7 Woodbine Croft, Sheldon, Birmingham 26, died 8 September on war service. Administration granted at Birmingham on 22 April 1940 to Annie Emma Scrivens, widow. Effects £275 1s 6d
You really need to get Elsa's birth certificate to get the names of her parents, and the actual date of her birth

Hi All,
I have a very tricky family tree i was hoping i could get some assistance with.
My father Terence Scrivens born 1946. He was adopted and name changed to DAVID OUTTEN. I have found out he had a sister - Verna Scrivens 1943 - who was also put up for adoption (but I've no idea if there was a name change etc)
Through speaking with my dad (when he was alive) he told me his mothers name was ELSA Scrivens born 1925. He also said she married in the SMITH family *sigh* and the relocated to Southampton where she passed away.
Elsa Scrivens, i believe her parents were Ernest Edward Scrivens Born approx 1896 and Annie Emma Hughes approx 1900.
If anyone can offer some assistance here to help me clarify my tree that would be great. I have particular interest in finding more information about Verna Scrivens (My Aunty) but i understand this won't be easy.
Please feel free to request a look at my family tree as it stands.
Thankyou all.
Harvey
