I've asked the question locally, Andrew and it appears to have been a jeweller/pawn broker shop, presume there were living quarters attached! Can't find any evidence that it was a mother & baby home, but thanks for the comment! |

The birth certs for adopted folk that I Have seen have had the birth mothers usual address as well as the address where the birth took place. Perhaps suggests that the registrar didn't recognise it as a mother and baby home. |

Thank you everyone for your comments-I think I'm going to have to have a chat to hubby and find out if he wants to take the next step-doesn't look like I can do any more on this, Cheers, Pauline |

Yes that's my thoughts too-I remember his adoptive mother saying that her mother (hubby's adoptive grandmother) had "sorted it all out" so presumably she knew somebody who knew somebody etc etc - another strange thing-my mother-in-law kept a diary all of her life-I have some of her old diaries BUT the earliest one I have is 1948-all of the pages before his birth month in 1948 have been torn out-the first entry says what a lovely baby he is and so on and so forth! They obviously destroyed the pages deliberately-later entries talk of the court hearing and state "at last he is all ours" |

His adoptive mother told me his original surname years ago "in case he ever wants to know"- she also told me that he had already been given a Christian name so they added a second Christian name which is the name he is known by-so I knew what to look for & obviously knew his DOB-that was the easy bit! Yes I realise it's delicate and I'm of a mind to give up-he would never agree to having counselling which I understand is a requirement for anybody adopted prior to 1975-I just wondered if I was missing something obvious-thanks for your comments! |

Well you can't persue his adoption papers only he has access to them . |

Hi there, firstly I must apologise if this message has already been posted-I tried to post it yesterday but I can find no trace of it on the message boards-hence I am now attempting to post again! |
