Find Ancestors

OK, As it was WW2 their will be no electoral roll but as you have an address then a visit to the main librarary where the rolls are kept and check the years before and after the war, Bear in mind only people eligible to vote are listed and see who is listed, Hopfuly her father? will be one, Then you can find a marriage, the cert should name her father, Then once you have her married name you can look first to see if she is still living or dead plus you will then be able to search for possible children to that marriage.

If the mother was born in the 1920's she could still be alive.
Or she could have died within the last few years and not showing up when you search.

Is your grandmother still alive, and/or does she have any adoption papers that could give further details?

Added:
As the birth was October 1939, had the ER's for 1939 already been complied, or did they stop very abruptly?

my grandmother isn't alive. her adoption papers have been destroyed but i do have her birth certificate which i bought online.

what is ER?

ER = Electoral Roll

What is the mother's ACTUAL address on the birth cert?

And was she the one who registered the birth?
