Well without her adopted name then there's no chance |

Yes.. I know. very difficult. trying again. The longer it’s unknown the more chance of her not still being alive. |

Well it would be changed but the birth would be in her maiden name if she single when the child was born |

If the daughter was able to track down her mother even after 2 marriages and subsequent changes of surname, it suggests that she had help along the way. |

Thanks. Yes that is the family.. I don’t have any idea when this baby was born.. but yes it could be before she married. |

Just had a look at that. It’s confusing.. There are surnames Astin and an Aston and a Clayton all born September to December 1944 to Mom Clayton. [these are all for one birth reg.] |

There is a girl born in the 3rd quarter of 1944 in Bilston registration district whose birth surname is registered as both Clayton, mother's maiden name Clayton and also registered as Astin, mother's maiden name Clayton. |

Thanks Kath Yes - Not sure which cert to go for as there 3 possible there... wonder what happens with name changes after or at adoption. No idea what area this baby girl would have been moved to, to check any ERs. |

I would order the certificate in the name of Clayton just to see if the mother's name matches the name of your aunt. |

There was a daughter born to someone with your aunt's 1st married name, who has the correct mother's maiden name. |

3 records for a Jean A - so A could be Aston or Astin as middle name.. as the tradition of including unmarried fathers surname as the middle name. |

Did your aunt's first husband die or were they divorced? Just wondered if you knew when the first marriage was over. |

Will send the details of that birth in a private message as this person may still be alive. |

Thanks for all your help everyone, getting excited about picking through this trail again. So she could be possibly 74 years old now bless her. |

3 of those Jean certs. probably belong to the same person, but are just indexed in different ways. |

Anji | Report | 26 Oct 2018 17:34 |
Yes Kath they did divorce. (The 1st marriage.) |

Yes Gwyn I have searched the tree all records here and came up with nothing, but will try again with all the possibles... and yes that is what is confusing me and Joan is a similar name to Jean too! |
