Hi neale
Your message and extensive time consuming research in my quest to trace my fathers unknown family history is incredible.
This evening I have written to Woodcote House and a historic group amd also The National Archives for the Netley Hospital amd will report back either way if I get a reply.
I agree with you that its probably an impossible mission to get the adoption details and unfortunately prior to my grandmothers death she asked a friend to destroy papers in a box and for my parents to not see what was in it! Now guess adoption information was possibly there as she would have needed this for her passport application to prove change of name from Brown (birtb cert) to Hayward then marriage cert to Barraclough and deed poll record to Felton!!
Shame it was pre record keeping.
I will be back and wish you all the best in your continuing research for others.
