Thank you so much. Will probably stick with ancestry for now, as I have some pretty close matches with them.

If I transfer Ancestry DNA to Find my Past for free do I have to subscribe to Find My Past to access the information. Thanks

Thank you very much for the advice. I used the links you gave and it does look like a personal visit is required so will think on what to do.

We have a complete history for Emily Maud West born Margate 1893, in domestic service 1921, and married Sidney T Smith, Willesden 1925. She also had an illegitimate son Henry Charles Wilson (no father named) in Margate 1912, but he is living with Emily's mother and father in Margate in 1921. So they kept that child. West is the closest name DNA wise. We think Charles was ignorant of his birth mother. We have birth certificates for both births with Emily Maud West as the mother.

Thank you for the tip. He must be the responsibility of an authority in Margate. I think the foster family had been fostering for some years, so it was an income for them.

Hi, Walter Ernest West was born illigetimate on 15th March 1915 at Thanet House, Minster, Margate, Kent. No father given. His mother was Emily Maud West, who is close family to Janet's closest DNA match (2nd-3rd cousin) on Ancestry.Com Charles Wilsons army records give his date of birth as 17th March 1915, Margate, Kent. Charles joined the army in 1938, so is not in the 1939 register. No sign of Walter on the 1939 register. Hope this helps. Thanks Robin

Family History Beginners Board / Trying to find Charles Wilson

Hi, Wonder if anyone can help us. My wife's father was Charles Wilson, he died when she was 9 months old in 1954. Supposedly he was born (Army records) in Margate 17th March 1915, but there is no birth record of him at all. None of the family info on him pans out, including his fathers name (deceased) on the marriage certificate. We have come to believe he was adopted and started life with a different name. Through DNA links on Ancestry we have narrowed it down to about 4 surnames, and discovered a close DNA match 'illegitimate' birth in 1915 Margate that may fit the bill. The child was Walter Ernest West and he was in foster care with Henry and Mary Jane Neve in 1921. Their address in 1911 was Poplar Cottage, Northdown, Margate and 3 St. Johns Villas, St Peters Footpath, Margate in 1921.They fostered a LOT of children. We have Walters birth certificate with mothers name but no fathers name. Does anyone know of any place with unofficial foster/adoption records for this time. The GRO records don't begin until 1927 so we are stuck there. It's a long shot but we would appreciate any help or advice. Thank you, Robin and Janet.
