Hi, I recently discovered my roots having been adopted at 14 months old. My birth certificate just gave my place of birth as Warwick, no actual address. I spent some time back in the 80’s trying to research my past but gave up when I finally discovered my birth mother had passed away some 2 years earlier. Some 30 years later out of the blue I discover I had a full blood sister living in Rugby. She had spent an immense amount of effort in tracing her past and had found out about our parents who were not married and had given birth to three children (ourselves and one other sister who had, unfortunately, passed away. From her records it became apparent that I was actually born at 3 The Butts in March of 1954 when it was, I believe, a nursing home for unmarried mothers. Both of my parents actually lived in Somerset which was where I spent most of my youth.
