Dumb question perhaps, but does your wife have a birth certificate?

Thanks ShaunJ: but only Stuart link was from Molly's father.
I believe her Birth Certificate is on the lines of a duplicate and not the usual form, and many years later, possibly when marrying the first time. I need to do some digging to locate it again.

I've yet to find how the "Stuart" link arrived, doesn't seem to be earlier than Douglas William.
Very interesting Indian Army connections, Orchards, Fishers etc etc. Lived a high old life under the Raj!
Initially I had hoped it might have been a clue to her birth mother, but she has no liking for bagpipes :)

Molly had Stuart as one of her christian names so I don’t think it’s significant in the actual adoption but originates in her line

Molly’s mothers maiden name was Fisher
