Rosie it has an address on her birth cert ... My BM address on my birth certificate is 2A Oldfield Road, Clifton, Bristol and 11 Snowden Road, Fishponds, Bristol - I have been told the latter was a home for unmarried mothers. The Clifton address is now offices by the look of it. The only other info I have is that my BM wrote to a lady (presumably at an adoption agency) from the Chest Hospital at Bradford upon Avon. She was writing to thank the lady for sending her a photo of me. It was the only piece of paper in my adoption file! Due to privacy laws I have not been able to discover if she was on staff or a patient there.

Winifreds birth was 15/9 1927 5 Brunswick square ( Hospital by the looks )
Mother Norah Alice Allen nee McCormack ... father Frederick Samuel Allen ( able seaman ) Sandover Road London

Margaret ( my lady in Canada ) was born in Bristol 1949 , mother was Winifred J Allen who says on cert she was born in Bristol but now proven to be Camberwell in London same as her siblings ... she says she was a student nurse ... there is no fathers name ... I traced the address on cert in Bristol and I think it was a mother and baby unit .... her sister Lillian Allen married someone from Bristol but the marriage ended , I believe there was 2 children from that marriage , Lillian died in a Kent ... I have contact with Lillians grandchildren from the Bristol marriage but they don't have any info .... the nearest dna match after them is a 246 Cm but not answering any messages and not Been on ancestry for over a year

Thanks everyone for all your help ... looks like we are going to have to take a guess at marriages and order certs for her if no other way of being able to look at that middle name .... appreciate all your advice and if anyone has any ideas how to "shortlist " our guesses that would be great ...

Lizzie L that's quite possible .... I was hoping if I went to main library holding the microfiche it would help  to locate her by her middle name of Joyce .... 😏

Thanks for your help everyone .... I am helping a lady in Canada find her birth family through DNA .... I have traced her mother to be Winifred verified by dna match to her sister Lillians descendents ... but unfortunately they don't have any info on her .... Information I have got at minute ..

Winifred Joyce Allen born 1927 Camberwell , sister Lillian I Allen born 1925 , brother Frederick Allen born 1915 ? .... I have Lillians death cert she died in Kent 2015 .... I have Winifreds birth cert which shows her parents to be Norah Alice McCormack and Frederick Samuel Allen .... I am now trying to find a marriage for Winifred to see if there are any siblings to my lady in Canada .... there is a few options on the marriages but wondered if it was possible to " shortlist " them
