Does anyone know how I could find the birth mother of a baby fostered at 6 weeks from a small private nursing home, now closed? My grandmother took the child but never told her who her birth mother was. We have a possible birth certificate with what seems to be a fictitious name for the mother, no father. The baby is now aged eighty and llives in Australia and would dearly like to trace her roots. We have the address of the nursing home but it seems there are no records of births that took place there. We also have the surname of the nurse. |

Would she have been on an electoral roll? Do nursing homes have to declare who is in them to any authority? Just guessing. Records may have been kept locally. |

Was her name changed when your Grandmother took her in? Perhaps it wasn't as you've found a birth cert. |
