My gran was born in Canada (area unknown) and was registered as Anna May Rafferty, we think her mum's name was Elizabeth Rafferty but father unknown (possibly a lumberjack).
My gran was brought to Scotland and adopted when she was an infant and adopted (not sure if it was official).
TBH there no one left from that generation of the family to get any other information from and not sure if my gran knew and was just keeping it quiet or she didn't know anything about her past.
Thanks for the reply's

I'm wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this.
My gran was born in Canada around 1926 (parents unknown) and she was brought over to this country and adopted when she was young but i'm struggling to find where to find a record of her birth so i can find her birth certificate and possible get the details of her parents.
Thanks in advance :-)
