No way half as important as this, but how might I find if Ronald Smith, born Wales 1909, was adopted by Margaret Ann Archer in Macclesfield within 2 years of his birth? He is on the 1911 census living with her, and I know he grew up in a happy environment and married. I have this idea that his birth mum might like to know that. |

I went through a similar process. There are a few options open to you. |

Hi Hooch, Thanks for your reply. All I know is that it was 1942 or 43. I don't know which area or anything else at all. Unfortunately It would seem that it's going to be impossible for me to find out who this half brother or sister is. Sad isn't it?. Maybe they'll be doing some searching of their own, although I imagine if they were going to do so they would have done it long ago. Thanks very much for your help though x |

Can anyone offer me any advice on trying to trace an adopted half brother or sister? I don't know if male or female or where born or anything, just the mother's identity. Would the mother have had to give her real surname at the time? This relates back to the early1940s so they would be in their 60s now. |
