Find Ancestors

Hi Grannie of Ten
Thanks for that...
Thats what I was thinking maybe she kept her first name
and they changed the last and middle name but did your mum keep the same date of birth and same area of birth..
Kind Regards

Hi Gillian,

Not sure what you mean a childs birth is entered under its birth name, then about 6 months after the child is placed with the adoptive parents the adoption goes through, and the child details are entered into the adoption register under their new name, sometimes the orig entry in their birth name is crossed though and an amendment number is next to it but not always.

My mum was adopted when she was three years old.She kept her first name as she knew her name but her surname was changed. Annie

Hi Sheila
I have tryed that I am wondering and I know its a long shot that when she was given a new identy they would have had to keep her same date of birth so i was wondering wether to search all 1953 and see if there is any handwritten ones on the end of pages but my uncle was wondering would they have changed the place of birth too... it is a possibilty they kept the first name...
Kind Regrds

Hi

Have you done a name search on this site to see if she has ever reg here in her birth name or see if she has her BM in her tree.
Given that she was 2-3 when she was adopted she may have kept her first name, but this is not certain.
If she get her new adoption cert, she will have her date of birth on it, but no address.
Do you know which agency arranged the adoption ?

Hi All
I am needing a little advice on how to find a Adopted person she was born in 1953 in Stockport and had 5 other brother and sisters... I never knew off her existence when i was 17 years old when my mum told me and I thought it could of been a frigment of my mums imagination has she had mental health problems.... Recently my grandma passed away and I went to my Uncles and we were talking like I said my mum did mention it years ago and he said to me there was originally six of us not 5. It was then that i knew it wasnt my mums imagination and that she really existed and I said to him ...I know which he seemed quiet shocked about as it was a long kept secret he was even more shocked that I knew the childs name .. Since he told me I get the impression he would like to be reunited with his long lost sister but he has hesitations as to wether she will want to know ... So I said that it was a chance she may not and theres a chance she might ...
So I found her birth details and I actually went and got him her Birth certificate... What he was wondering was if she was born in january 1953 when she was given a whole new identy would she keep the same date of birth and place of birth or would they change it and also aparantly he was six or seven when she was adopted so she would of been about two or three would they change her first name as a child that age would be used to her name by then and changed only the last name????
Any information or help would be greatly appreciated in this sensitive matter.. Has I think deep down he would like to meet her...
Kind Regards Gillian Duncan
