Recently received my fathers adoption records, and traced his real mother. |

You could add yourself to the national adoption contact register. |

The marriage you have found is definately, that of my Grand mothers Elsie M Collins this I know, my father's birth records do not carry a fathers name. as it has only his adoption papers. |

Your father was probably not the son of Mr Collins but as his mother was possibly still married to him the birth would have been registered in his name.....maybe the Sharp in his name was his biological father? |

As Thomas was the father of the girls..........we presume.......perhaps he brought them up after his wife 'played away from home' |

Thanks all I have, I know about Donald too however cannot find anything more on Moureen and Thelma. Thought also about Sharp being my fathers dad's name too. |

Why do you think they were adopted? there are a few Thelma J Collins marriages but not that many births |

Moureen is almost certainly a mistranscription of Maureen |

I am struggling to find the marriages in the right locations, i.e. Warwickshire. |

There is a marriage in 1953 which could be her but a son born in 1954 registered in two names.....and not seeing him after his birth...and the husband looks to have remarried in 1963? |

Will pm his two names and some possible trees he is in...might be worth sending messages to the tree owners to see if they know anything |

Don't expect one straight away from any of them.... some of the accounts are quite old and they may have changed their email address since...but fingers crossed one will answer...at least two look to be from the same family |
