Good morning
I would like to trace my adopted brother. Unfortunately, I do not know his adopted name. I do have birth details and some very limited information about his adoption:
Mother's Details: Marion Elizabeth Foyle, DOB 1 March 1952, now deceased.
Adoption details: kept with Mother for 6 months before adopted, we think through the Catholic Church.
I have found him on the birth index here:
https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/8782/images/ons_b19682az-0486?treeid=&personid=&hintid=&queryId=e2bf63e0683898fdee58ae12151ae60b&usePUB=true&_phsrc=wKo435&_phstart=successSource&usePUBJs=true&_gl=1*1y6pgvv*_ga*MTEyOTcyNjg0Ny4xNjM2MjExMjY0*_ga_4PXYE4RLH1*MTY0MDU5NjgxNy44LjEuMTY0MDU5Njg0NS4w&pId=90182906
I can see that the entry has been annotated which I assume is to show the record is superseded due to adoption. I cannot read the annotation - looks like it might say 4907/S or 4H09/S.
After looking through the guides and threads on here I have contacted my Local Authority (Surrey CC) to see if they can provide any support. I have also completed the form to go on the Contact Register and done a general google search to see if he has come up on any general sites for people looking for birth relatives (nil return).
Am I correct in thinking that there is nothing else i can do in terms of searching other than going to an intermediary agency, given I do not know his adopted name? Does the annotation on the birth index mean anything i.e. would that link me to an entry anywhere that would disclose any details?
Many thanks in advance for any advice/help.
Lindy
