My grandfather died and his wife Clara Dyer (nee Woods) re married a Mr Knight (currently waiting for marriage certificate to arrive). They had a daughter born c 1915 called Dorothy Knight. Clara died c 1918 and there the trail goes cold. My father had no contct with his stepfather after his mother died and I have bene told a story as we are often are tht Dorothy was adopted after the death of his mother. Sorry I forgot to say in all of this that they lived in the St Pancras area of London at that time. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. |

They will only search if you are next of kin and I believe the charge is £25 |

Yes they are VERY helpful I contacted them cos we thought FIL was in a Barnardos home in the early 1900,s they didnt find him but did search their records. I do feel they are trying to be open now with all their records Shirley |

Does anyone know if by contacting Barnados today, they are able to advise whether a child was taken into their care round about 1918 ish? I have a child who seems to be a bit lost after her mother died! Thanks Gill |
