Verna Scrivens (SCRIVENS FAMILY TREE) help!

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Hi All,

I have a very tricky family tree i was hoping i could get some assistance with.

My father Terence Scrivens born 1946. He was adopted and name changed to DAVID OUTTEN. I have found out he had a sister - Verna Scrivens 1943 - who was also put up for adoption (but I've no idea if there was a name change etc)

Through speaking with my dad (when he was alive) he told me his mothers name was ELSA Scrivens born 1925. He also said she married in the SMITH family *sigh* and the relocated to Southampton where she passed away.

Elsa Scrivens, i believe her parents were Ernest Edward Scrivens Born approx 1896 and Annie Emma Hughes approx 1900.

If anyone can offer some assistance here to help me clarify my tree that would be great. I have particular interest in finding more information about Verna Scrivens (My Aunty) but i understand this won't be easy.

Please feel free to request a look at my family tree as it stands.

Thankyou all.

Add yourself to the Adoption Contact Register, and hope that Verna has too.

Added - Patchem has already suggested doing that on your other thread.

Although the birth doesn't seem to be on http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl yet - it might be poorly transcribed - once it is, you could also create a throw-away email address eg @hotmail, @google etc and add a 'postem' to Verna's birth entry asking for contact

Name: SCRIVENS, Verna
Registration district: Stratford on Avon
County: Warwickshire
Year of registration: 1943
Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's maiden name: Scrivens
Volume no:6D
Page no:1572

IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED THE ABOVE IT WILL SAY IF SHE WAS ADOPTED

If you have had no contact with the SMITH family
it is possible that Verna traced her birth mother & they kept in touch.
