Hello,
I have been searching for my late mother's younger siblings who were adopted during the early 1930s. All were likely born in Argyllshire. Only one of these siblings was known by name, a sister named Nancy born about 1930. I just had a major breakthrough and found her birth registration. Nancy was born in January 1931 and the margin states she was adopted. She was born in Oban, Argyll. I have more details (full birth name etc.) but there is a chance she is living so I will hold onto those for now.
About that time, a couple holidaying in Argyll offered to adopt my mother who was being raised by an aunt. The offer was refused as the aunt had promised her own mother to raise Mum. The interested family were the people who distilled Vat 69 Whisky so I conclude they must have been part of the Sanderson family of Edinburgh.
I had heard that this couple wished to have a little girl in particular. They may have had boys already. If anyone is researching their Sanderson roots and knows of an adopted girl in the past, this may be my long missing aunt.
Mary
