Have been informed parents married in armagh but have searched Ireland records and can't find any info. Maybe someone else will have better luck but without rough dates I would say it's going to be time consuming

Researching:
Hatton, Blakeley,Lear.Hornblower, Wilton,Bird,Carpenter

I found the different marriage in Hampshire but that couple are still together up till 2011

If it is Ireland not much point looking at the BMD's

Researching:
Nothing much

Could you please say what you have sent a pm of minihousenut

To save others sending the same

I am not seeing a marriage for your parents was it in England or wales

There is a Sandiford marriage in yorkshire but the middle names are wrong

Was your mother married before? Is she still alive dont want to say too much if so

Researching:
Nothing much

Have you registered on the national adoption register? She may well register there if looking for her birth family.
Also try 'search trees' above.
However, you really need to confirm her birth name first. I am wondering why she was not registered as a Wells?
If you have a rough idea of when & where she was born hopefully her birth record can be found.
