no, she saw a social worker about 18 years ago who told her some details of her birth mother and marriage to hedley button (this was relevant as winifred perrott married him prior to signing the final papers for the adoption). According to hedley, who we later traced,  her own mother kicked her out when she was pregnant even tho hedley said he would marry her when he got back from germany if her mother would let her live with her til then, her mother refused. when they went to court to sign final papers she tried to get my mum back, as was now married  but was told that the final papers were a formality and she no longer had any rights to my mum.  the social worker didnt leave any info, how would we go about getting this now?

my mum is still alive ( age 70)  and know s i am doing this, her birth mother died in the 1990 s , we never met her but did meet her husband in 1996 who explained some of what had happened ( he wasnt my mums birth father) we are just trying to piece things together and i guess see if there are any relations. I know she had no other children (as had miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy, they then went on to try and adopt but they were refused as she had given a child up for adoption) but was told she had a sister and a brother,  My mum and I are just very curious about the daily life and if she was born there or at a hospital etc. how the adoption was arranged, The birth you mention is my mum, i will look at the marriage record, as know her husbands name, and see if that s her. i guess i can trace form there xx

Hi I am looking for any descendants of my great grandparents John w Clark and Eliza Bott. I was always under the impression that they had 8 sons but from my research I can find  5 boys and a girl all born from 1910 to 1914 ish. the names I have are Samuel, Edwin, Jane-Annie, Stanley, Ernest (my granddad) and William, who i believe my dad was named for. My granddad married Maud taylor and they lived in raby road, ferryhill. That generation seemed to loose touch and I didnt know any of that side of my family. I have found that they appeared in the 1911 UK Census on 2 Apr 1911 at 49 Rennie Street Dean Bank Ferryhill in Ferryhill, Sedgefield, Durham, England.

i wouldnt have thought she would have had any money to pay for somewhere private, so this is looking like the place. I guess the info i would be looking for was what was it like to be there at that time but guess its unlikely there is anyone to tell me, my mum was born in jan 1945 and i know her mothers name was winifred perrott and she was from the ringwood area, we were told she was stationed i Lincolnshire during the war hence the reason my mum was born in Lincolnshire.
