When was she born? Was Matthews her maiden name? Does she have a middle initial?

None were born in the Blackpool or Birmingham area

Hi thx for the reply's, I think i have found her birth record, she's from Bury but lived in Blackpool on Livingstone Road. Matthews was her maiden name and according to my adoption records she was 23 and born in December 1945.

She has no middle name. I know she came to Birmingham to have me in 1968.

I've looked on freebmd before i joined here and also was unable to find any records, i did find a little info on here and ancestry.com. with a couple of possible tree matches. I've mailed them but so far had no reply :(
Thanks again :)

Have you tried contacting the local library in Blackpool to see who lived at that address in 1968?

Unfortunately, it looks as though her mother was unmarried when she had Lesley so it will be impossible to trace siblings.

Did you purchase the birth cert. to see if it matches the details on your adoption cert?

Hi Rose,
I do have the full address of where she lived in Blackpool but for obvious reasons i can't post it on a public message board.
I have the court record of my adoption and it has Lesley details on it so i know i have the right person :)
I'm mainly trying to find where she is now, i've searched the deaths records aswell and well and it looks like she is still alive.
I have a couple of good leads but don't want to risk contacting the wrong person :)

I really appreciate your help,
Rob

Rob,

The electoral roll info. might list the relatives she was living with in Blackpool.

Might help you track down her marriage or her siblings.
