Searching for Patricia

[louisa maud]

Looking  at  family trees
Patricia  Daphne Morgan  is  shown as having the  same birth as your Patricia Denise Morgan , coincidence?

I think it is coincidence  as the paperwork I have all say Patricia Denise mmm !!!

Jean, guessing the details on the 1940 marriage for Patricia did not include an occupation for father Richard? Did he show as Richard Patrick on the registration?

In case you missed my earlier post...

Looking at her 1939 Register entry, I wonder what the note on the r/h side means? 'See Book 2, pg 2'?

Added: Also wonder why there is a line through her entry on the Register?

As i already have the marriage certificate i havent really looked for the registration but i will do in the morning.
As for the registry entry its been puzzling me too and I've tried searching for BK 2 but cant find any other reference to it.

You dont know how frustrating it has been over the last 15yrs, I'm no further forward and it seems I really only have 2 pieces of evidence that she ever even existed,  1 is the marriage certificate and the other is my dad,  her son.

Must continue to be 

The name Denise at that time (early 1900s) does not make me think Scottish to be honest. Between 1855-1915, there are only 15 instances where the name Denise comes up in a birth registration in Scotland (thousands thereafter!). With the DNA results you have, it could well be on her mother's side where the Scottish genes may lie (always so hard to guess at).

I wonder where you could get some clarification on the note and score out on her 1939 entry.

By the sounds of it, you have seen your dad's adoption papers and they didn't add much more?

Must admit  I  didn't  understand  the  ref to Book 2, with  no  other reference numbers  i  didn't  know  where  to  look, the  crossing out,   isn’t  that Morgan    crossed out and  Devonport  shown  above,  her married name .

Yes I have dad's Adoption Order, which gives the Birth Mothers name Patricia Denise Davenport, the child's birth name and D.O.B Leon Patrick Davenport 26th August 1941, and, the Adopters Names and address, but that's all the info it gives.
I also have dad's Adoption Certificate changing his name from Leon Patrick Davenport to Frank Brian Morton.
I also have a copy of the both the original Register of Birth in the local church records as well as his Baptism, both giving her name as Patricia Denise. Unfortunately, the church was bombed in the war and all records were lost.

Yes I was very confused about this entry too, I have been quite busy with work since I found it but work is slowing down a bit now so I intend contact the GRO to see if they can shed any light on it.
I also am beginning to suspect that she herself was adopted, purely because there are no birth records for her .
I really cant wait for the 1921 census to be released
