Reynolds
« on: Sunday 15 January 17 12:03 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone give a little help please.
This baby was born in Manchester. 11-1=1960. At one month old his Gran and Gdad gave him his name Peter Antony Reynolds.
He has never found his Birth Mother. Assume at that time she was in some mother and baby home and had to give up the child to be adopted.
The Grandparents are deceased There names were Mary and Gerard Reynolds.
Does anyone know of any Mother and Baby homes in 1960 in Manchester.
Any Census Records.Lep

So his mother was the Reynolds daughter?

Is it that you don't know who the mother was or just don't know what happened to her?

There's a marriage for the "grandparents" in 1952?

Nothing else close, in Lancashire, from 1880 through to 1960?

The mother or father must have been Reynolds if Reynolds was the name of his grandparents  ???

As late as 1960 for an adoption there should be papers - unless it was done unofficially.

I'm not seeing a Birth Registration for your chap?
Are you sure he was a Reynolds when he was born?

If that is the grandparents marriage then any children they had would be far too young to have had a son in 1960. 

Are they biological grandparents I wonder or just assumed grandparents which makes it even harder. 

Where has the exact date of birth come from?
