Hello, it was Celia Mary Butler - the address on my grandfather's birth certificate is 128 Potters Farm, Chisbury, but having searched and searched there is no record of that address that I can see? No 'Potters Farm' anyway, so presumably it was a farm of Mr Potter perhaps? My grandfather was Gordon Eric Owen, adopted in 1932 I assume (year of his birth). He died in 1986. 

thanks!

Hello - I am searching for any information about the BUTLER family, who lived in Chisbury little Bedwyn around 1932, they were farmers I think. 1932 was the year my grandfather was born and immediately adopted, with his birth having been registered in Hungerford, Ramsbury district. There was never any contact with my grandfather's mother and his father was on the birth certificate as unknown.

Is there any way of finding any further details about why he was adopted from any other types of records that may have been kept, I.e parish records etc? I think I am at a dead end sadly but just wanted to check.

thanks! :)

Hello I have a related query - however the adopted person is my grandfather. I have been doing some searching and my father has given me my grandfathers birth certificate, which states father unknown. My grandfather was adopted in 1936, at birth I think (this is what his adoptive parents told my father but it was always kept very quiet). Unfortunately he died in 1986 just before I was born, so couldn't ask him any other questions relating to whether he knew his mother/father.

Would I have any power to get adoption records? I would love to find the name of my great grandfather, and my fathers grandfather.

thanks!
