Find Ancestors

Hi, Letty -

My knowledge of London is sketchy, but a Google search for courts in or near Kings Cross produces this:


Greater London Magistrates Court Authority
51-53 Holloway Rd, London, London, N7 8JA
Tel: 020 7506 3128

Worth a try. If it's the wrong place, I expect they would tell you who to contact instead.

I am afraid I can offer no advice as to whether you should enquire at Kings Cross Courts.
The only times that I have been in touch with the GRO in Southport was to get copies of birth,death, & marriage certificates.
I have had no need to seek information from other English official sources.
My Scottish situation was different as I knew that my relative had been adopted by a man who had married the woman that I had suspected was his birth mother.
This relative although born in Scotland died in England.
I obtained a copy of his original birth certificate & found that he was actually registered in his birth mother's name as I had suspected.
His adopted father was not his biological father.
I found a postscript attached to the birth certificate telling that his birth mother had successfully taken an action against a man who she claimed was the child's biological father.
His original birth certificate was amended to include his biological father's name
This postscript gave the address of the child's said father.
Sorry I can not be more helpful in relation to the situation in England

Regards,

Doug

Hello Doug

Yes she / cousin was born in London, England, The maintenance order I have been told was dealt with at Kings Cross Courts. Should she enquire there.?

Letty

please do not mark ANY replies on your thread as answered when they have NOT answered your question.

It shows on the Board Summary as answered, and thus no-one needs to respond.


I'm afraid that you probably cannot remove the tick on Paul;ine's request for more information if it is available, as there is a glitch in the system.


You may not get as many responses as otherwise.

If your cousin was born in Scotland there will be an official record kept of the maintenance order.
From a personal experience I found the birth certificate of an illegitimate relative whose mother took an action against the said father of the child
The said child was declared the illegitimate child of both parties.
This action was taken by the mother after the birth of her child.
Through this I was able to find out the name of this relative's biological father
I presume that there will be a similar situation if your cousin was born in England but I have never had any need to try to find out so far

Doug

Hello Pauline. The fathers name on her birth certificate has ben left blank. Her mum told her that his name was John Duffy a Scot's man.. I have guestimated his date of birth to about 1938.

Hello

My cousin is trying to locate the name and details regarding her father of 50 years ago. Her mother has recently passed away. She has been told that he was a Scottish soldier and that he was given a maintenance order. Is it possible that anyone could help with information regarding how we would go about locating the original maintenance order etc.

Thank you
