Adoption records
« on: Saturday 02 April 11 15:15 BST (UK) »
My Grandfather was adopted through St Anthonys Cheshire Homes, Wolverhampton.  I have his birth certificate and know his birth mother's name. I also know who his adopted parents were.  Is there anyway I can find out who put him up for adoption?  Can I get hold of the adoption records? Jaynekb

Family History is a Pandora's box if you don't like what you see find a new hobby,only concentrate on the proven facts and not the facts you think you know.

If before 1927 (?)  then there was no formal adoption.

Wolverhampton archives may know what the status of the (Cheshire home) adoption records are.
