Hi
No I havent i have tried but I find the English system more difficult than the scottish system of finding birth deaths n marriages etc..thought I'd try finding out in other ways.
This couple were killed in a car accident as far as I know and their 6week old baby adopted. I don't know how to search for adoptions never did one before so I thought starting at the crash might help?

I'm sorry to sound so vague i don't have much information to go on
All we have is
The date of adoption:10 November 1952. Billericay juvenile court.
Family no 4231184
Original name of the child Derek Woodward 
mother Eileen Woodward
Father Derek Woodward?
Register of births in Braintree number 497 on 3 July 1952.
This child was my friends husband all he ever knew was his parents were killed in a car crash and he was 6weeks old when he got adopted.
I've done a couple of my friends family trees but I've never had an adoption and really don't know where to start...I thought I'd i could Get the accident details etc I could Get further info.....I'd be grateful if anyone can help or point me in the right direction
Many thanks for your time trying to help.

As far as I know they do have the adopted birth certificate .
All my searches are for Scots i know how to order anything Scottish but not a clue when it comes to English birth death etc where would I order his original birth certificate before he was adopted? I know that might sound a stupid question but I've never had to Get any certificates from South of the border.
Could you give me a link please?
Thanks
