Please can someone advise me? I am trying to find my Step-Sons family in Northern Ireland, but we have very little info. We know he has brothers and sisters that don't even know he exists. we know they were taken into care. All we know is his mother's present name, previous married name and maiden name. Are there any BMD indexes online that we can search through.

Many thanks Lorraine.

Lorraine and David,

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately My Step-Son's mother disappeared many years ago when he was little. We recently were given an address for her in Wiltshire. He wrote and received a letter back asking him to keep in touch. Since then she seems to have disappeared again or is simply not answering his correspondence. So he has been unable to gain any info from her, which is very sad as he has brothers and sisters and a family in Ireland somewhere. We know very little about her, only snippets of info that my husband remembers about her, and that's not a lot. We are not even sure which year she was born. This is what little we do know.

His mother was born in Belfast around 1953-1955. Her maiden name was Margaret McCausland. She did marry a man named Magee, don't know when. She had 2-3 children in Ireland who went into care. We don't know when they were born, how many or what gender.

That's it that's all we know. So it's not much to go on. I was hoping I could find her birth record and a marriage record and maybe some birth records for her children(Steve's siblings) but as there are no records online I don't think we have much hope of finding anyone.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards Lorraine.
