Well there was no official adoption until the late 1920's so you will probably find that she was just taken in as a family member and that was that. What did you want to find for her?

Hello I am an adoptee. The thread that will help you with tips, is adoptions hug and hints (Jess thread). Good luck Donna

It's ok Philip, it's 10.37am here, so you're not keeping anyone awake! There's a thread a couple of threads below this one which suggests it may be useful for adoptive family members. I haven't actually got any adoptees myself, but it's not an impossibility!

Firstly sorry if i'm being overly talkative tonight, it's 2.30 am here and I just don't want to stop lol I just found out that my great gran took in a child that was born to a servant girl in the place she worked. I've got the first name, and the last name is my nana's and I know it would have been around the 1920's in brighton area of Sussex. I've not had to research an adopted relative before and would love hints or tips. Thanks
