Scott/Adoption/1919..need help!

[Valda]

Hi

There is no restriction on images apart from if they are to big or for copyright reasons (or if they are problematic of course) on the county boards. There have been some temporary changes to the site recently as the whole of Rootchat has been subject to some necessary maintenance to speed up it all up, so this may be just a temporary blip.


Regards

Valda

Hi Valda, Dawn, Monica!
I'm actually rather relieved that the pictures and letters are gone.  I thought someone might have done an editing job and I thought they had done a great job!!

Hi, Monica,
The adoptive mother wrote to the registers office in 1932 asking for a birth certificate of Mona Julia Scott, born 2 April 1916 at Highgate.  I am sure that's what she thought the child's name was.  The answer, of course, was that they could find no birth registration by that name and suggested at that time that they legally adopt which I guess they hadn't before.  Then a new birth certificate was supplied in the adoptive name.

hi kathy just reading through i was just wondering born in highgate i bet she was born at number 30 stanhope gardens where James and Alice lived if so maybe local GP/midwifes may have a record
