If you check on FreeBMD you will see that there is only one Rodney Dixon born in UK between 1930 and 1943 with mother's maiden name Dixon and that was in Gateshead in 1941. - He also has a middle name ? |

To verify the story, or otherwise, buy the cert detailed above, to find out the mother's name |

hi dea, she was told by her sister violet dixon!! as violet was brought up by her nan when dorcas left the country she remembers rodney being spoken about being giving away and my mothers adoption as the nan was old and couldn't look after them!! my mum and violet only made contact this year as they was seperated years ago!! violet was telling my mum things she remembered about the family!! |
