If your parent or grandparent was adopted in the UK, but died without seeking access to their birth records then, in terms of the Adoption and Children's Act, you as a descendant are denied access to this information. |

Just for the record,,,,Adoption records are permantly closed upon the death of an Adoptee and no correspondence will be entered into,that information is only privvy to the Adoptee, |

Have you got her adoption papers? On my uncles it tells you who the contract is between ie the name of the adoptive parents and in my case the name of the mother and birth name of the child. This has only recently been passed to me as my uncle passed away and the family know I am mad about family history! |

Patricia Anne Griffin (d.o.b. 18/04/1936) was adopted by Albert and Stephanie Mary Griffin. She died last year still firmly refusing to give me any information referring to her birth parents. I would really like to know about my heritage. Please could you guys point me at the starting post? She was adopted in England, I think maybe in London. |
