It's not uncommon to have posters assume helpers are related to them when we add any info. on their family found on Ancestry, FreeBMD, Google, etc.

I had one poster who insisted I was her husband's ex and I couldn't convince her otherwise! I think the ex was called Rosemary.

I am not related to you and I'm not your husband's first wife!

If you click on her name her adopted or current surname appears.

No its the Scottish adoption register I've registered with! Yeah I've tried that!

The register people give info about on here does not include Scotland

Have you tried www.192.com using the name in which she has her membership on here?

There's two accounts for the same person, so I'm assuming she changed her email address then set it up to this site. Yeah she was adopted in 1975, I've sent my registration form to the adoption register, just waiting on confirmation from then.

Presumably, she was adopted

Are you on the national adoption contact register?

Unfortunately, if she doesn't have the same e-mail as when she registered, GR will not be able to contact her

Still no luck in finding my sister :-( Her birth name was Ashley Harrington, I'm pretty sure I've found her on here but she hasn't opened my messages yet. Fingers crossed she still uses this site!
