I now have Miriam's marriage certificate and it's looking like I'm on the right track. I think I've traced her to being born in around 1893 in Kent to Walter Mew. I've done a search and Janet Newman seems to have the names in her family tree. I'm thinking she could be a cousin (however many times removed)!! I don't know whether I should go ahead and just email her - she probably has no knowledge that Miriam had a child out of wedlock. I think Janet would be a descendant of Florence (Miriam's daughter, my grandmother's half-sister) who appeared to marry a Newman. |

Well I contacted Janet Newman, her husband is Florence's son (she died in 2003 and was also adopted) It would make my mother and Janet's husband half cousins, unless Miriam had my grandmother Doris and Florence by the same man, although her track record's not looking so great at the moment!!! |

**UPDATE** I have now established a half-cousin for my mother. We are in contact and now trying to piece this all together. It's SO exciting!! Seems we have all lived within a 50 mile radius of each other all our lives!! I can't wait for more! Thanks for all the help folks. I shall keep you posted on progress. |
