Family History Beginners Board / Looking for half brother OR sister
« on: Sunday 17 November 19 23:53 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I have been searching for a half brother or sister (not sure which) for many years now with no success.  All I have is an official document from the County Borough of Rochdale where a mother, Irene Rawson, also known as Irena Gray, gave birth to a baby on 16 August 1946 and she has asked the courts to order the father of the baby (my father), Peter Bertram Smith, to pay maintenance etc to Ms Rawson for the baby's upkeep and it is approved by the courts.  Her address was listed as 7 Heybrook House, Rochdale and she was a single woman.  I can't get a lead on all this, made more difficult because I live in Australia now.  I'm asking if anybody could suggest a way I could try and trace this baby to see what happened to him/her?  Many thanks.

Family History Beginners Board / Bastardy Bonds
« on: Thursday 27 December 18 02:56 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I am trying to trace a baby born to Clara Hoyle in Lancashire (I think), born around 1942-5.  When my mother divorced my father  in 1945, this baby was cited as reasons for the divorce.  I later found out that he was paying maintenance for this baby who would be a half sibling of mine.  My question is how do I search the Bastardy Bond list for Lancashire?  I've tried Ancestry.com lists but nothing comes up.  Or, any other ideas come to mind?

The Common Room / Advice on finding a half-brother or sister
« on: Sunday 07 July 13 23:19 BST (UK)  »
Where to start?

All I have is my mother's divorce papers which state that my father fathered a child by somebody called Clara (not sure of the writing but it looks like Clara) Hoyle out of wedlock.  Divorce took place in Blackpool, Lancs, in 1945.  I do not know sex of the child.  He was ordered to pay support by the courts to the mother. 

Cd you please reply to my email address, just in case something comes up and the person is still alive?

I will do the research work.  I just need someone to tell me where to start.  I live in Australia so can't pop in anywhere to search inhouse stuff.

Many thanks

Cheshire Lookup Requests / Mary Ann Grime born Cheadle in 1878
« on: Tuesday 02 July 13 09:19 BST (UK)  »
Looking for Mary Ann Grime, of Stockport who married a Jack Goddard in 1900 in Manchester, St James.

I'm trying to track their descendants to present day.  I believe they might have had children called Florence, James, Winifred and Irene but I might have the wrong Goddards.  That's all I know.

Any help would be appreciated.
