His birth reference implies an adoption or name change. Does this sound correct? Did Neil stay with Joyce?

Joyce appears to have married again to an Abram. She died in 2004.

hi rose thank you for your reply I've only known him as Neil Derbyshire so I don't know if his name was changed or not he was only about a year old when I last saw him Neil did go back and live with Joyce I think after she and my farther split theirs more to that story but cant say on here I was told they went to live in Scotland but don't know if that is true I have been trying for quite a few years now but haven't had much look, do you know where she re-married just thinking if Scotland might be same Joyce by the way Joyce was my stepmother, she was married to some one that was known as the major and lived in camelford Cornwall

A curious entry on FreeBMD for Neil's birth. I don't understand it but "Possible late entry"

This looks to be her birth:

Births Mar 1927
Wilkins Joyce F Wilkins Hackney 1b 651

Then she married a Frank V Jacoby who died in 1965. He looks to have been a lot older than Joyce.

She them married your father in 1967, and Neil was born the same year.

Find My Past (and possible Genes) transcribed the 1975 marriage as Frederick S H Abram.
Joyce married under the surname of Derbyshire

Frederick S Abram seems to appear on the 2015 ER in Royston, Hertfordshire. Joyce F Abram disappears from that address after 2003.
PM sent with address - it may not be the correct person, so be discrete when you write.

Its worth adding that Birth, Marriages and Deaths which took place in Scotland are on a seperate index. One can find events registered prior to about 1940 on the pay-to-view site Scotlandspeople
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/welcome.aspx

Not sure if you can search on line for later ones as things have recently changed.
