London & Middlesex Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Scott/Adoption/1919..need help!
« on: Saturday 13 March 10 06:53 GMT (UK) »Hi, Monica,
The adoptive mother wrote to the registers office in 1932 asking for a birth certificate of Mona Julia Scott, born 2 April 1916 at Highgate. I am sure that's what she thought the child's name was. The answer, of course, was that they could find no birth registration by that name and suggested at that time that they legally adopt which I guess they hadn't before. Then a new birth certificate was supplied in the adoptive name.
hi kathy just reading through i was just wondering born in highgate i bet she was born at number 30 stanhope gardens where James and Alice lived if so maybe local GP/midwifes may have a record
