Just an update, received a birth certificate and adoption certificate for my mum, shows nothing of a fathers name! We are now attempting to get a birth certificate for my mums older brother, so hopefully something shows on there.. if not I'm stumped ?? |

Hope you and your mum can get some answers. It sounds as if you are both prepared for a few shocks. <3 |

I agree with Gwyn. Your mother should apply for her adoption file. It sounds as if you’ve a good idea who her biological father is, but want confirmation. |

Ok, I have been in touch with East Riding again, with the updated details, have ordered a birth certificate so fingers crossed we get something, my mum has never had a birth certificate (her mum may of but was never given to my mum). |

It may be the fathers name won't be on the certs so you won't find his name |

If the children's birth parents weren't married and the children registered with their mother's surname, it may be that their birth certificates give no mention of their birth father. Sometimes births are indexed with the 2 surnames if the father was present at the registration. There will only be the one same certificate though. |

Didn't think anyone would get in touch about this, thank you for your responses! |

Another situation could be that the children were in fact the children of their 'Dad', but had been registered in their mother's surname. |

You would know grandma surname from when she married in 1972 so you can look for births using that surname |

Hi all, I am writing this on behalf of my mum, upon losing her mum back in 2013, my mum found out that the person she called her dad actually wasn't which was a big shock.. From what we can make out is that my mums eldest brother(2 years older) and my mum had actually been adopted by her 'dad' in 1972, which was the year that her mum and 'dad' got married. |
