Very much a shot in the dark, but I am looking for an Eacott (Ecott?) family that adopted my great grandmother around 1907. All I have is tidbits of information and memories from my grandad. My great grandmother Frances Sophia Blaney was born 1906 in Poplar, but given up shortly after birth. Adoptions weren't recorded until 1927, and I can't find her on the 1911 census so I'm wondering if she was recorded as her adoptive parents name. My grandfather remembers the name Eacott (or Ecott?), and that the father at least was alive during the war, as my grandad went to go see him and the entire street had been flattened, but Mr Eacott was still sitting in his armchair pinned under some rubble, but unhurt. He remembers him having a wooden arm that he would screw various tools into, and that the old mans wife and family had evacuated to Cornwall. Probably lived in the Charlton/Greenwich area.
