Welcome to the boards, Wendy.

As you have said that their names at birth were Esterling, do you mean that they have all been adopted?

Have you looked to see if they are in anyone's tree on here?

is there a death record for FWG Esterling or his wife? I'm not seeing any ... people born after 1930 may be living ...

(edit, sorry, I have duplicated a bit here ... my point was that if a person could still be alive I remain under the impression that posting their full birth registration details is not appropriate)


there is someone with the name of one of your brothers and the surname Barrow-Esterling on the electoral roll up to 2005 in Hull

were you in touch with him at all up to that time?

here is a message posted by him at an internet forum in 2006 that includes an email address you could try

http://pub7.bravenet.com/forum/static/show.php?usernum=541623688&frmid=3550&msgid=619488&cmd=show

hopefully Wendy can give a little more explanation such as how she became separated from them and whether she knows anything about them since birth ...


actually there is a 2014 electoral roll listing in Goole

I very much hope that isn't a shock to Wendy - I might rather have sent it privately with an explanation, really

Wendy

have you got your adoption recordd you are entitled to have them

Its seems from the records that your parents had divorced as he went to America and remarried.

Can,t see your mum remarying in her maiden name or as Esterling . maybe your adoption records can throw some light on that.

Hopefully your siblings who I have sent info for can give you more info

I have just seen Wendy's post on Success Stories thanking me and you Shirley for our help, just wanted to point it out in case you hadn't seen the good news and the thanks (and I hope that if one brother doesn't lead to another your info will do that).
