Hi
Firstly, yes, I must apologise I should have tagged this onto the previous post, but we had moved on slightly from then, so I thought I would have to start over again.
Secondly, we have searched for the person using the details he knew about himself for his original birth registration and were unable to locate it.
I did mention this to the intermediary and she replied;
If it is in the public domain and you know the details you can, but if the person was adopted and you are trying to find their original birth certificate then you cannot as special forms have to be filled in for the Home Office/GRO.
Some people know their original identity in which case they already hold the information.
So, from that I'm guessing that this may be why the original cannot be traced?
Would you agee?

The Common Room / Adoption and Original birth certificate

Hi
Just after some advice, or confirmation of what we've been told is correct.
My friend's husband's grandfather was adopted. He was born in 1926 and died in 1988, and we are trying to locate his original birth certificate to obtain, at the least, his mother's name.
As far as we are aware, he had no other siblings.
We have his name at birth, his date of birth and the exact location of where he believed he was actually born, but, because he was adopted (and we do know both the adoptive parent's names - he was living with them at the time of the 1939 register), there does not appear to be a record of his original birth registration in the public domain.
We were told that this is because he was adopted and that special forms have to be filled in for the Home Office/GRO, and to access information about an adopted person the family must use a registered adoption intermediary.
We have done this, and been given some advice and guidance of what would be needed for a investigation to begin, but it is very costly!
Does anyone know of an easier way to do this without the use of an intermediary?
Many thanks
Sue

Hi
Firstly, the gentleman I am referring to is now deceased.
I know where he was born his exact date of birth, and his given surname at birth. He knew nothing of his mother or father.
He was born in 1926, but by 1939 was living with his adoptive parents. When he married he named his adoptive father as his 'father'.
Can a relative obtain his original birth certificate? I have looked on FreeBMD but cannot trace his birth registration.
Do we just need proof of his death and proof of relationship to buy a copy?
Does anyone know where to apply?
Thanks in advance!
