I AM TRYING TO TRACK DOWN A SISTER, I HAVE JUST FOUND OUT EXISTS. THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS SHE WAS BORN DENISE DYER OR DENISE PURVIS, I CAN NOT FIND ANY BIRTH RECORDS. SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN BORN IN LONDON TO DOROTHY DYER. HER YEAR OF BIRTH COULD BE 1954/55/56. IT IS BELIEVED SHE WAS ADOPTED. I WOULD DEARLY LOVE TO TRACK HER DOWN.

Possible birth in 1955 sent by pm, for a Denise Purvis, not Dyer.

If that birth is her It looks like she may have a tree on this site also which is only a couple of years old

Thanks for the help, I am not sure its her as my mother maiden name was Dyer. She could have been name Denise Purvis but I do not see the connection of the name Norton. Plus she was then adopted and no one alive has a clue what her name is now. Sadly I think I have hit a dead end.

Not seeing a marriage between Dorothy Dyer to a Purvis or did they not marry?

Denise is the name my sister remembers a baby being about she was 8 at the time, and my mum's sister has confirmed this. Trouble is she could have been registered under a different name I guess. But apparently thats what my mother called her for about the first 3 months of her life. :
