Adoptions 1940s
« on: Sunday 03 June 07 12:42 BST (UK) »

Hi
A query on behalf of a friend.
Where & how does one obtain Adoption Records for the early 1940s in London? Huh
And might the Adoption Records hold clues to the puzzle below?

In this case the adoptee is still alive, the birth mother is known to be deceased. The natural father, as named on the birth certificate,  could not possibly have been the father! He was deceased too  far before the birth!

The adoptive parents are also both deceased.
If anyone has experience has experience of getting Adoption Records I'd be interested to know what information is needed & an idea of what the Records might contain.
Many thanks in  anticipation

Hi Marlene

I'd advise to take a look at the General Register Office adoptions page - there is quite a bit of good info there:
