I am looking for my sister who was adopted at birth my mum had to make the dreadful decision of giving her up. My mum named her claire hardy but the people that adopted her registers her so her name may not even be claire all I know is that she was born 17/06/1985. She was adopted by a nurse and I think a joiner or teacher! They moved to Chester le street. My mums names is Sharon hardy!!
Nay help will be greatly appreciated! <3

Add yourself to the national adoption contact register. If she knows that she was adopted, and is looking for birth family, she may have done the same

By law her birth should be registered in her birth name.

Any subsequent name change would be on an adoption cert, which you cannot access.

Are you sure of the date of birth, as there is a Claire Hardy/Hardy born in the first quarter of 1985 in Durham Central?
