my husband was born in nov 1946 as peter webster . His father was roland lynds from nova scotia and mother Rachael Webster from brighton england. After many years of searching in 2000 on a visit to canadian relatives he was told that when his father returned to canada after the war there was probably another baby besides himself that also belonged to roland lynds but born in england around 1946 -48. If anyone could help with any information we would be very grateful.

Hi Jill,
I can't find your husbands birth as Peter Webster born Nov 1946, is the date right? and was he born in Brighton uk?
I'll look for the other baby once I know the answers to the above

Hi Anne , sorry we never replied way back. Don’t know how we missed it. Ian was registered as Peter Webster he was born 1946 on November the 11th. He was then adopted out in 1947 and became Ian Lock adopted by Charles and Rose Lock thank you , kind regards Jill xx

If the fathers name isn't on any birth certificate then there's no way of finding a birth where he could be the father

Not seeing your husbands birth. Unles he wasn't born in Brighton

Since you last posted access to adoption records regulations have changed so he is entitled to have his adoption file

Researching:
Surname Fahse. Germany. Essex .South East London My avatar is one of our wedding photos of 1957

There is a Peter Webster's birth registration showing in the New Forest RD 1947 with Mother's maiden name Webster, indicating that unless very coincidentally both parents were Webster, then the parents weren't married. This RD would not cover Brighton. There are other Peter's but none surname Lynd/s but one with mmn Webster in Manchester but he has a second initial.

6 weeks were allowed for a birth to be registered so it should be the Q4 1946, but might have rolled over to Q1 1947 so have checked both.

Unless the Father admitted paternity and was at the registration, his name will not be on the BC

There are Lynd/Lynds births 1945-1949, also available to see on that site, but probably not registered under the Father's name either ??

Are you in contact with David, who also seems to have Roland in his tree?

Go to SEARCH then click on Search all members trees to find Roland's name in a tree, then click to send David a message.
