looking for a link between campbell / sutherland and loudons

[cstew]

might sound strange, but i;ve been looking up my grans family tree, when she died we found out she had been adopted, i think twice - though this is disputed in the family, anyway my querry is with the second adoption formally done though the glasgow sherif court in 1934
where she goes to an Adam sutherland and his wife bethia gartshore campbell
before this she was living with mrs hamilton loudon (wheather this is her mother is disputed)
problem is okay they adopted her but from her birth, she always had the second adopted mothers name (i've seen both certificates) but they lived in different areas of lanarkshire/glasgow and i just cant figure out how they knew each other
any ideas on where to look

Have you traced her birth certificate?

When/where was she born?

[cstew]

my grans first birth certificate has her born:
29th aug 1927 , glasgow as bethia sutherland nisbet or loudon

in the colomns is written :adoptee
her mother on this is put as Hamilton sneddon loudon

this hamilton thats down as her mum as always been considered to be the one born 1885 and married to william loudon 1876, not until recently did i discover they had a daughter also called Hamilton sneddon, at the time of my grans birth she would have been around 18. i believe this to be my grans real mother. though she was brought up by william and hamilton (snr) until williams death in 1933, gran was adopted out to bethia gartshore campbell sutherland in 1934.
3 yrs previous to this hamilton jnr was married to a mr kelly.

sorry i shoul say she gets a second birth certificate in 14 feb 1934 when she is adopted and adam and bethia arre put in as the parents, with adopted written again in the side column

It looks as if she was brought up by her grandparents until her grandfather died and her grandmother may have been unable to care for her.
Have you checked with the Mitchell Library to see if her grandparents made any claims for poor relief?
