Black Family

[Forfarian]

My grandfather was born in 1910, he was given up and placed in an orphanage and later adopted, his name is Athel Milton.
His mother is registered on the birth certificate as Ethel Milton, we believe she was from Aberdeen but was working as a maid in Kent UK, we don’t know if she was married or not.
This is the only information I have, DNA testing is showing up with Canadian DNA but I’m completely lost further than this.

You'd be better to start a new thread - people won't find your request if you tack it on to a thread dealing with an unrelated surname.

Hi Susanmarie

Welcome to RootsChat 

As Forfarian suggest, good to start a new thread of your own so people have a better chance to see it.

Is this your grandfather's birth, a couple of years later, in 1913:

Births 2nd qrt

Maidstone   
Vol. 2a/ pg. 1760

What makes you think that mother Ethel could have been born in Scotland?

I don’t know if this is correct for your family, but DNA might confirm or eliminate
