Many thanks ev. I shall have a look at this. My mother was told of this at 19 years of age so perhaps made a mistake of the town. She was never given her adoption papers or birth certificate and when her father died they were not in the house. We acquired a copy of her birth certificate from Edinburgh.    Thanks your help is much appreciated.

The adoptive mother died in child birth having my mums sister Jean who was brought up by an aunt and uncle and now lives near me and I see her regularly. Complicated I know.  Jean is married to my dad's younger brother.

Thank you Monica for trying to find some information, it is much appreciated. I realise that my mothers siblings may still be alive but if I want information I cannot wait too long. I would like a photo and perhaps some health information for myself and my own family.
