Bridget, You need to if possible, to put in the date and place of where your mother was born, and your own date of birth, in other words as much information as possible regarding dates. Barbara.

Bridget was born in 1955, so there's a start. Births Sheila A. V.Bullock March quarter 1934 Mother's maiden name: Sandall District: West Bromwich Vol: 6b Pg:1051 You can get your mothers birth certificate with this info Bridget.

I see you have added to your original message Bridget, that does not bump it back to the top though so we wouldn't realise you had replied. I have given you you mum's birth info above, she was born in 1934 Sam

shelia was born in 1937 has far as i am aware so it looks like the one born in 1934 is not the one i am looking for

Well that's a huge coincidence - on the whole people with 2 middle names are easier to trace, so to find two Sheila A V Bullocks is extremely unlikely. By the way I searched 1934 - 1939 and the one I found above was the ONLY Sheila A V Bullock in the birth registers Here is her marriage, or rather the marriage to go with the birth I found, the district is the same. Sheila A V Bullock + Samuel E Herbert June quarter 1957 District: West Bromwich Vol: 9b Pg: 1443 Do you know if your mother did marry a Samuel?

Births Coleen A T Herbert December quarter 1957 Mothers maiden name: Bullock District: Wednesbury

shelia had a son before i was born and he was adopted by shelias perants that placeed them in friar park wendsbury so ldont know about 1934 but the marrige to mr herbert i was trying to find that

have been trying to find barbara enrty as far as i know she was born nov 1960?

According to your info above they had a son called Sam, so it looks promising

perhaps your mother lied about her age . lots of mothers do! good luck

no julie she did not lie about her age she was 18 the year i was born which made her birth year 1937

Births Olive G Herbert ------ perhaps the middle G was for Gwen MMN: Bullock Sept 1959 District: West Bromwich How do you know for certain that she was 18 when you were born?

You're right about Barbara.... Births Barbara A Herbert Dec quarter 1960 MMN: Bullock District: West Brom

yes it was olive gwedlione

shelia marreid an albert herbert but like gwen it could have been his second or thrid name

Well it's Samuel E Herbert - no A for Albert so I'm going to bow out of this one, if you are 100% sure of your info then I seem to be tracing the wrong family, or a mixture of two families

no i think its the one alright just i only have the info that social services gave me they got gwens birth year wrong so they could have his name wrong its too much of a coincedent i thing

right the info i was given gives me that shelia was born in 1937 can any one tell me how to find out if she told a lie she has no reason to the info say that shelia was sent back to her mother in may 1955 by the salvation army in belfast am i right in thinking that the coming off age then was 21 if she had been older they would not have been able to forcer her back to her mothers ?

hi bridget, have had a look and found this birth in 1837 sheila A bullock mothers maiden name barber jan feb mar district:leicester vol:7a page:750 hope this is the one for you best of luck kerry ann
