My father was adopted in 1930/31,we have been lead to believe his natural mothers name was Kathleen Oswald born 1905 in Bromley Kent. We think his birth name was Jack W Oswald.Looking at the marriage records a Kathleen Oswald married a Hogdkin in 1932,but not sure this is the same person. Any information about this person would be much appreciated.

Hi Mark

If you buy Kathleens birth cert (£7) it should tell you Fathers name and occupation.....

..Then if you do the same with her Marriage....and you get a match with Fathers name and occupation ...Hey! presto!!!

You could also buy Jacks birth cert and it will give you Mothers full name and address.

Her birth reg....

If you want to buy a BMD cert,heres how and here
is the addy where you can buy it online... (copy n paste the following...)

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/


(tip)Never pay more than £7
(another tip) for a marriage,you only need
put one partners name when ordering.

If you are ordering online from the GRO,
make sure that when the form asks
"Is the full GRO reference known?"
that you tick the "yes" box.
