Trying to find Relatives of Bernard Bennington born 30th November 1931 Died February 1991 Plymouth, If it's the Bernard I think it is and was born in North East, he shows up on the Birth Records as 1st Quarter of 1932 Mothers Maiden Name Heslop. If it's that Bernard then he was my Mams Brother and was maybe adopted after his Mothers Death in 1940. Father was Raymond William Bennington and Mother Frances Louisa Bennington nee Heslop, Can anyone confirm or refute this.... Many Thanks. If it's the right one then it's the First sibling i've managed to trace of my mams, she's 70 now and would dearly love to find all of her adopted siblings.

Thanks Dorsetbaby Just wasn't sure about Bernard whether it was the same one that was born in Durham. We've found the birth records of the Siblings, Margaret E in 1930, Bernard and Kenneth in 1932 register looks like Kenneth Died, Jean in 1934, another Kenneth in 1936, Florence in 1937 (my Mam), James H in 1940. Have the death Record of the Mother Frances in 1940 also, But as Most if not all the children were adopted they seem to disapear Florence became Margaret Railton in 1942 when she was adopted but it appears the oldest boy never had a name change, trying to trace what happened to all the siblings and see if any living relatives.
