Berkshire / Re: Adoption 1930s

Thank you for the explanation and the link, I think the way you have described it is the best way to get more information. Let’s see how it works for people who live overseas.
I thought that the Petty Sessional Division of The Forest was the Court who dealt with the adoption, maybe Court records about the adoption still exist
- Yes, I have date of birth, address where he lived with his adoptive parents and I’ve found him on the 1939 Census

Have you found him in the 1939 register?
You know his adopted name and parents.
This will give you additional information such as date of birth and address.

Berkshire / Adoption 1930s
« on: Saturday 16 November 24 00:19 GMT (UK) »
Hello,
My Father was adopted in the 1930s, I don't know his birth name or birth parents names. I Just have a certified copy of an entry in the Adopted Children Register. How can i find out more about his birth name and parents. The court is listed as '' Petty Sessional Division of The Forest,County of Berks'' . Im not from the UK so i have no idea where to start with my research. He lived in Wokingham,Berkshire with his adoptive parents.

Amazing new information! I will look more into it, one son of Thomas Breeden,Breaden,Breeding was baptised as Craven Breathing, so very close to BRETHEN.
There could be a connection
The baptism looks definitley like James not Thomas

Thank you all again for your time and research. Yes I have Elizabeth Short b. 1751 Cuckfield too but her husband is still a mystery and the name Breeduing/Breeden is not very common.
The poor family:( I think it was not an easy time for them while growing up. I did not know that these records exist and will look more into it because i have a lot of ancestors from Sussex. You never know the circumstances back then, maybe Thomas was adopted or lived with a family called Breeden and took their last name or was born with a different surname or born illegitimate and later took his biological or stepdads name. The name of his child "Craven" could also be surname that runs in his or his wifes family

Hi,
I have an ancestor called Thomas Breeding(Breeden) who married Elizabeth Short in Cuckfield 1770. He died in 1828 in Balcombe born around 1750. I thought that he might be Thomas Breeding born 1750 Cuckfield son of Nicholas and Sarah, but looking at the records there is no baptism. I think i found information elsewhere in the past and did not look further into it. Can someone help to find the baptism and right parents of Thomas?

Thank you! Great to have a unique name instead of another Mary Elizabeth or Ann in my tree
