I have been on the Roots Ireland where I have a sub and there is no Shirley Timms anywhere. Don't think Ireland.

I have deleted that information.

Will wait till I hear back from Shaun for confirmation of the details.

Edit: The information I found earlier was incorrect. According to Shaun, his Mother was born in Ireland.

I have advised Shaun on how to return to this thread.

We can rule out the Westminster marriage in 1963.

She might even have come over from Ireland to have the baby and then gone back again.

Are you on the national adoption contact register?

This search would be better done through an intermediary

The lady's family may not be aware of you, and direct contact from you could cause her distress

The poster was born in 1959.............birth record indicates adoption

Welcome to the boards, londonborn.

There is a Shirley M Timms born in Surrey in 1934.
Is this her likely birth?

Do you know where and when she was born?

Were you adopted? Do you have your adoption file?

There is a marriage for a Shirley M Timms in 1959 in Willesden district.
