Thank you. I did have a free trial a few years back so not sure if they will let me again, but will give it a try.

If you do contact any relatives please take it slowly. They may have no idea that Doreen had a baby in 1945.

"...order from the Juvenile Court.".     What is the date on this document.

It names the child and mother....confirmed by reference to birth records. Does it give the date of birth?

Hi Wivenhoe,
The date is 27/6/45.  Yes, names child by birth name and also adopted name. Names both the birth mother and the adoptive parents, and confirms an entry number in the birth register that is a match to the names and date of birth.
Thanks

Thanks for that....date the document was drawn up.

What date.......day and month...........was your mother's birthday celebrated at home?

Or are you saying that baby was adopted the same day that baby was born?
