Johnathan. Any idea of year your father was adopted. Might help to narrow it down a bit. Sarah. |

Presumably they would be old enough to be in the 1901 census? At least your Grandpa, if you do not know grandmother's maiden name. Try free BMD 0r 18370nline web-sites for their marriage? Have you tried to register the name of interest on the Surrey surnames web-site (via genuk (.) org)see liks on the left |

your all brilliant and have given me some clues as to where to start looking... my father was born in 1936 and adopted a few days after birth. |
