Dorothy Mona Woodward was born 8th February 1917 and had a twin brother Walter Kenneth Woodward. Their mother is showing on the birth certificate as Marie Woodward formerly Lyons. Her birth name was Martha Lyon from Moulton in March 1894. Walter (Uncle Ken) and Dorothy are my fathers half-brother and sister. As my grandmother was in service at the time of the birth she was only allowed to keep one of the babies. That is all she ever told us - she would not even mention her name. When my Uncle Ken was alive he tried to trace his twin sister but to no avail. My grandmother passed away in 1995 but my Dad is still alive.
On Dorothy's birth certificate it shows address as being 56 Hartford Road, Leftwich, (Northwich)
Does anyone know if adoption records are available for 1917 and if so where?
Any help would be much appreciated.
