The best course of action would be to add your details to the adoption contact register......and hope that your birth mother has done the same |

yes i mean my birth mother, the information i have is iris mary gilbert, when and where i was born says 30-10-44 at 20 new street lymington, name surname and maiden name of mother says (worked at a dairy) of 60 cromwell road southampton, so i presume thats her address and not the dairy. i have my name on the contact reg but to no avail, so im trying to trace the family, but dont know where to start, if u can help it would b gratefully accepted, thanks |

Have you tried Freebmd for any likely births for her? There is a birth in Southampton which could be her |

yes the only mary gilbert was born in southampton in 1927, thats the only 1 in that area that would fit the time line, but because i dont have the dob im not certain, is there anyway of tracing to make sure through her address perhaps |

You were born during the war years so there would not be an electrol roll. If she was only 17 she would not be on the list anyway |
