Any help or tips on this matter please feel free to point us in the right direction. I know there was some excellent threads a while ago but I cant seem to find them over the last couple of days. Is it worth registering on the adoption register?
Thanks
Judith

Many thanks Kay????
I am new to adoption research and would like to thank you for your explanation. We just couldnt understand why she would have gone to glasgow to give birth when the first childs adoption was going through at the same time, hence her apparantly not signing the adoption papers. The first child requested the papers/file from banardos along time ago and only read a little when her adoptive parents destroyed them....:(
do you think they would send a second copy? this is some 40 yrs ago they sent them.

Judith ,

It will be the child 1956..
..no refence will ever be entered on another childs birth certificate of a former child being adopted,,,,,,,,,,

also it mean the childs adoption took place in London and was entered into the ---Adopted Children Register .held London England..

Hi I have recently received a birth cert for a child born in glasgow. The mother is a relative who I am trying to trace. The first column on the certificate states "adopted....the london registrar" I think it says the london. She is from London and we do have other records to confirm her pregnancy etc and going to scotland to have the child. We know she had a child that she put into barnados in london 2yrs prior to this child so does this column refer to that child or to the one she has just gave birth to? (1956) the lady in question was also in the home as a child.
any help really appreciated thanks
