Thanks for that.It is very useful.But what is the birth index? I know he needs a lot of support and everything you have just told me is what we have discussed,Thanks for that reassurance that we are imagining only the worse. |

The birth index lists all the births that have been registered since 01/07/1837 (for England and Wales). It doesn't give exact dates or name of parents but it does give the district where the birth occured. |

Glen, know situation - my husband was adopted at the age of 6, he is now 52, we have found out in the last 4 years that he also had sister, we managed to trace her and also found out he had a brother and a half brother, we have just learned from records he also has 3 x half sisters, we are desperately searching for his half brother born in 1959 and put up for adoption in 1960. It has been frustrating but we are not going to give up |
