Looking for my Granny

[ev]

Any names on this site are viewable on the whole net.
Any other children may still be alive.
From the information provided I don't think most people would have a problem working out the names(Monica ?).
If anyone has further information they can send you a PM.
Have you looked at a possible marriage on SP in 1938 Midlothian ?

Hello yes I saw that marriage but the middle name was Watson not Storey.  The marriage was in Edinburgh to a Norman vinton

It is very likely that the family of Dorothy's mum have no idea she had a child that she gave up for adoption. It would be hard for anyone to hear the news online this way which is why RC asks everyone to tread carefully.

Hopefully you will find that people will send you personal messages which are off the main board and you can discuss details more freely 

I am guessing the full name you have is what she gave for the birth registration of Dorothy? The middle name is certainly a surname. Likely a family name on either of her parents' side.

We have fingers crossed for you but a lot relies on someone perhaps identifying some details. This period is recent and very little if anything online. Be hopeful though

I think the possible death in Annan is not correct. The maiden name looks not to be correct for that lady. Always a problem with the index that you cannot tell which way round the names go. This lady also had a sister who died in Annan a few years earlier with the same details for mother's maiden name and the other surname (not the one you need).

Also, I was following up on another possibility from a death in 1987 also in Dumfrieshire which looked promising. However, her marriage shows in England in 1934, so...not her either.

There's a marriage of a James Little F****** to a G***** D C M******* in Castleton in 1943, which suggests that the Annan death is the wrong person altogether.

"... her adoption certificate was not correct"

Do you have the adoption document?.  What was not correct about it?

[Drumbowie]

A lawyer found her mother and dealt with the legal  things in 1955. I don't know what was wrong with the certificate, I was never told.  I was born in 1957.

I don't have the adoption certificate. My mother would have needed to request to see it. As she is deceased I am not sure if I will be allowed to view it.

Thank you Monica for trying to find some information, it is much appreciated. I realise that my mothers siblings may still be alive but if I want information I cannot wait too long. I would like a photo and perhaps some health information for myself and my own family.
