Hi,
Sorry it has taken me so long to reply,reason being i had a hard time signing in..Thank you for your reply,and to be honest that never crossed my mind ::)about name change..I have this morning looked for marriage & death of Ethel Sellars,the ones i found do not fit with anything with the Reoch lady.
This is why i am looking,i will try to keep it short.(not easy}.My grandparents were farm servants,not well off people at all,but they had taken in illegitimate children as their own,one was my Dad in 1914 and an Ethel 1915/16/18,don't know for sure,but she was at school with my dad in 1921/22 and she had my grandparents surname as my dad did.Neither my dad or Ethel had a birth cert.,as my grandparents said they had been destroyed in a fire..My dad had to apply for one to get his state pension in 1973 thats when he found out his real name and situation.Ethel and my dad lost touch over the years and when they got together again,neither spoke about their upbringing,and at that time internet to me was unavailable.sadly.I still cannot get any information on HOW my grandparents got these children,they were not connected to people where my dad was born,and of course i am still searching through S.P.to follow any Ethel that was born in 1915..I don't have many left to look through,so you can understand why this Ethel Reoch jumped out at me..Thank you for your reply,and sorry my story is quite long ,but hopefully understandable.
