Well unless you know the new names then you can't follow them up

Have you put your ,and their ,details on the National Adoption Contact register . If any of them look for birth family then your contact details will be passed on to them

A small s against the page nos means if someone requests a copy of the birth cert only a Small cert would be issued that won't show any details of the birth parent/ parents

This was how adoption info was indicated at that time

If you look on that link that I posted, for births for Jackson with mother's maiden name Horsfield, you will find the 3 siblings you are looking for, with the 's' added at the end of the numbers.

You can also try it for your own birth, to see what that shows.

Added:
Your birth might be too recent to show on free bmd, as the coverage is not complete for all years.

The births of the 3 siblings all have an 's' on the end of their numbers

e.g. 2B 8671/S

Have you looked for them on free bmd?

Well the page nos do indicate they may have been adopted so you could add their and your details to the National Adoption contact register so if they look for birth family your interest will be passed on to them .

You need to add your mother's name to your tree. If they are looking, it will be her name they will search.

Welcome to the boards, Donna.

When and where were you last in contact with any of them?

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

Thank-you

Where they adopted? Sort of looks like there was some kind of name change looking at the birth reference.

Did they remain with either parent?
