Without going into precise details such as full dates of birth, what information do you have about Sue?

Who were her parents? Is her statement correct? Did they divorce or was she put up for adoption/into Care?

If she was adopted, her name would have been changed, but you could register with this site & hope she has too.

Susan was adopted due to family circumstances.
I have date of birth but don’t know date of adoption. Taken advice to contact adoption intermediary agency
Looking at marriage record as well - P Trigg 1982 (not sure if on right path)!!

Hi ?? I am still trying to locate my sister Susan. Just wondered if anyone has any advice on what I can do next. I have Susan’s birth certificate,;which does not mention adopted & Confirmation from adoption contact register, so assuming Susan was in care. Marriage to P Trigg in 1982 & I think he remarried in 1986. Unfortunately I cannot find out if she remarried. I think there were 2 children (girl & boy) unfortunately the boy died before a year old.

Have you bought a copy of the marriage cert to be completely sure that it's the correct one?
(Though given her middle initial and the location, it seems very likely - assuming she wasn't adopted and her name changed.)

What does her middle initial P stand for?


If this is the child you think died before a year old, he is NOT Susan's son - his mother's maiden surname was Roberts.

Births 1984 (>99%)
TRIGG NEALE SIMON W ROBERTS GLOUCESTER 22 2264

Deaths 1984 (>99%)
TRIGG NEALE SIMON W 17MR1984 GLOUCESTER 22 1940


However, a Trigg / Williams daughter was born in Cheltenham in 1985.
I don't see her after that, with surname Trigg.

Susan’s middle name is Patricia & she married Paul R Trigg in 1982 I have Susan’s marriage certificate. Stacie Marie was born in 1985 & James Michael in 1987. I have record that Paul Trigg remarried in 1986/7
Thanks Mags

Paul currently living in Worcester , per Electoral Roll - not that that's any help in finding Sue.


As Elizabeth said in her post in 2018, Sue's board name is/was Sue Russell.
I don't see a marriage to account for that - at least not in England / Wales / Scotland.

Margaret Report 4 Jul 2021 21:58

As cannot find marriage for name Russell this made me think this may have been adopted name that’s why I contacted Adoption contact register. I have even been thinking of writing to Paul but a bit apprehensive about this!

ArgyllGran Report 4 Jul 2021 22:07


As you're sure the Trigg marriage is the right one, then she can't have been adopted, or she would have married as Russell, not as Williams, which was her birth surname.

In my previous post, I meant that she didn't marry a Russell as either Williams or Trigg. (In case she had joined GR under a married name instead of her maiden name.)

I don't see any harm in writing to Paul, unless you think it might cause trouble if for some reason he hasn't told his present wife that he was married before.
As they divorced about 35 years ago, it's probably unlikely he will know where she is now, but at least you could tick that off your list of things to try.

If she married as Williams, she can’t have been adopted, yet you state that she was. Unless she was adopted by a family named Williams

If she was adopted, her name at marriage would normally have been different

And the woman who posted on here 16 years ago was apparently named Russell. Whether that was a ‘single’ name or a married name, there is no way of knowing, as she doesn’t appear to have put her tree on GR

I have sent you a couple of electoral roles but no idea if they relate to your Susan.

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 5 Jul 2021 12:57

There is a Susan Russell of the right age (+/-2) currently living in Cheltenham - but her maiden name was Joyner.

There's also a Susan P Russell of the right age +/-2, in Stroud - at least up to 2018 - whose maiden name was Warner.

Also a Susan Russell in Gloucester whose maiden name was Harris, and who is also several years older than your Susan.

But anyway, your Susan could be living anywhere. There's no reason to assume she's still in Gloucestershire.

Adoptees have been known to revert back to using their birth surname. It's always wise to bear that in mind

Okay will do
