Many thanks for the prompt reply.  Hessie HALLIDAY was an illegitimate child b.1937 so the only thing I have to go on his her mother's name Maud which would probably put her in the 1917- 21 year of birth but I could be wrong she could have been older.

Not 100% sure yet the family I posted is the correct one- still searching. It's possible 'Maud' is Matilda, Maud is her middle name, etc.

No problems.  It is just that Hessie was adopted in 1941 by the Simpsons and it wasn't until 40 years later when she applied for a passport that the "secret" came out.

Suppose you've looked for a connection between Maud and adoptive parents? Did Maud ever try to apply for/trace adoption records before she died?

Before Esther SIMPSON aka Hessie HALLIDAY died she didn't make contact because up until 1976 she didn't know she was adpoted.
