Hi ,Thanks for all the replies.If I sounded mean to some of you I am sorry,I did not mean to be.I just thought 100 pounds all up,I have paid 15 so far ,was a bit much if I didn't get much info.I suppose you win some you loose some.I will be paying when in c6 months my name comes to the top of the list.Cheers
hope you didn't think i was implying you were mean, whatever walk of life another £100 is a lot of money, was just trying to soften the blow lol,
it is so hard to advise anyone about what records they keep as circumstances before they entered and after do alter and NO ONE file/record is the same,
ie if both parents died then there maybe no relatives to supply prior info'
if the child went to a family before working age then usually there would be a file on that families circumstances, ie like a home check, if children went to Australia/Canada there will be photos (there SHOULD be anyway)
if they were then fostored in another country there maybe files from the agency abroad giving info,
there will be a file saying what circumstances they entered under, if they stayed there until working age the file maybe pretty limited unless they were a bit naughty lol,
any letters sent from any relatives to the home? maybe they joined the services and were killed there maybe a record, as i said there are so many ifs and buts, and again the only reason i mentioned would be best to try and forget once paid is at least your not sending £100 to someone via ebay and hoping to get some brilliant info and get a one page doc' and feel ripped off,
maybe look at it that you have helped future children, i suppose you should also think about what you know about your relative and if it is just a couple of missing years will it help?
if you do decide to go ahead then maybe in a few months drag this post back up and post the results to help anyone else maybe thinking about it
just to add i reread your post and noticed you said that was the last anyone heard of her, so maybe will be ££s well spent
