Family History Beginners Board / Adoption pre-1927- any way of finding out?
« on: Wednesday 01 June 11 22:27 BST (UK)  »
Hi.

I'm am trying to trace the birth parents of my Grandad. He was adopted at birth in 1920 in Rochdale, Lancs. His adoptive name is Roy Gillespie. His adoptive parents are Maud and James Gillespie. Does anyone know how I would go about trying to search for his birth parents? I think his name was changed completely. Other than that I know very little. My grandad died in 1994.

Any clues would be great, thanks.

Hi! I'm having trouble finding a relative on the 1911 census.

Her name would be Edith Wild, (b. 1900 in Littleborough, Lancashire). She would have been 10 or 11 and living with her parents James and Emily, or her aunt, Sarah Anne. She has a brother called James.

Can anyone help?

Rachel
