Title: Lillian Eva Randall birth index not found
Post by: deoxy on Sunday 04 June 17 00:51 BST (UK)
Hello,
 I am looking for the birth index record of Lillian Eva Randall born in February 1919 Coventry but I can't see it in the indexes. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Did she marry? If so...to who? And when and where?

She was adopted and took the name of her adoption family which was Grime. She married William Richards in Heywood, Lancashire in 1942.

Lilian Rendell is in the 1939 register.

deoxy, finding adopted children in the birth index is difficult, even more so since adoption didn't become a legal process in England & Wales until 1927

You know her adopted surname was Grime, Lillian Eva might not have been the name she was given on her birth registration.

She might also not have been born in Coventry.

Thanks to all who helped. Mystery solved. Lilian's surname was Randle and I now have her birth certificate. She was born in Foleshill in 1919.
