Hi, just seen your post. My mother was born in 1933 & was adopted a few months later & her names changed. She was middle aged when trying to trace birth mother etc. with no success. She contacted Social Services who have a duty to help in circumstances where there was an adoption. They found the records & she was re United with her birth mother then extended family.
Hope you can persevere down this route. Good luck!
