Birth certificate

[Blue70]

You could try looking for a baptism sometimes there can be clues there. My father's father turned up as a godparent on his baptism five years before the parents were able to live together.

Am trying to find my adoption records. Have found that i was adopted in 1952 with the birth name Peter Howard Beckett at a place that I believe was on High Street, but it no longer exists. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I should go about things...Many thanks

Hi you need to contact the social services of the city that the adoption took place. They will have your records.

You ask about "Adoption in Manchester" and a-l has pointed out that you need to contact the appropriate Social Services Department.

You will find further information about getting access to adoption records on -

https://www.gov.uk/adoption-records

This is an official government site.

Hope this helps,

He would want his original birth certificate and would need to know his mothers maiden name. I have solved 3  adoptions but in two case jagged original birth certificate the other one the child new his mothers details, went through the hoops because it was a catholic one and they were very tight  about him getting any information, he stood his ground on the human right issue for his children's genetics, won out and was able to obtain his records with every detail, it was the happiest of reunions I have witnessed, he was 50 Mum 80.

I was adopted in 1952 from some kind of Home at 42 High Street in Manchester and would like any information about it. My birth mother married in 1953 so I was wondering what kind of reason she would have been sent there.
Any help would be welcome
Thanks
