Family History Beginners Board / Re: 262 Victoria Park Road Hackney - Adoption
« on: Friday 04 March 22 18:43 GMT (UK) »
Hello all,
I as born at St Margaret’s in 1948; I was given to my parents two weeks after my birth, the court order went through five months later. My birth Mother was not allowed to name me so a big clue is the child’s forenames were given by adopting parents. I have a birth certificate registered at St Margaret’s with my natural mother’s surname and another after the court case with my parents surname. Both certificates have the same forenames. I have a friend a few months older than me and her certificates are the same. I acquired my birth certificate 1978 after the law changed. The social worker had no information at all as it was a private adoption. St Margaret’s had just the two beds for paying unmarried Mothers, a sideline to the nursing home. I have had a successful relationship with my maternal family and aged 69 I found my father by DNA search.Never give up the answers are out there somewhere. Good luck.
