Hello Sheila,
I havejust come across your post offering help Is there any chance you could help me. I have been searching for a sister that my mother had adopted . Her birth name was Patricia Ann Sheath, born 21st Aug 1937 in Southampton. I do have her birth certificate now and on it is our mothers name Mabel Sheath formerly Bushnell
My mother was widowed at the time. Myself and my 2 siblings who are still living would dearly love to meet Patricia and although I have searched for nearly a year now just do not know where to go from here. I assume her name was changed when adopted and do not think I am allowed to apply for an adoption certificate do you know if this is the case.
I would be grateful for any advice from you
kindest regards Doreen Skeggs (Watts) watts being my mothers name when she remarried after giving up Patricia.
