These two that were adopted out will be in their seventies now, if they are still alive, so it is fairly unlikely that they will be searching for their roots......they would have tried by now if they had wanted to......and found that for people of their age it is quite tricky....
.....however it would perhaps be worth your spending a few pounds putting a message on the Government Adoption Contact Register..........you can put one on as wanting to find these two people, and also as happy to be found by them if they are looking.

People do sometimes suddenly decide to find things out, perhaps wanting to do it before it is too late.
I had a message on the adoption contact register for fifteen years......last year, at the age of 64, the person I was trying to find, suddenly decided to look for her roots............she was my full sister, adopted separately to me in 1946........I had known about, and been searching for her for forty years....she had no idea I existed. Logically, she must have realised that she was unlikely to find her b.mother..........so why she looked then, I don't know..........next time we are chatting I'll ask her. I had found our b.mother many years ago, and knew her for about 14 years before she died. I also found our b.father's family, sadly missing our b.father, but his later children knew about us.........its amazing what one can find with a lot of chasing up of possible leads...........so keep going.........

Thank you Eileen. I will pass this info on to the one sibling who is aware of the facts and let her make the decision as to what to do next.....if anything. Regards. Cx.
