I see you have given the details to Maisy to do an ER look up

could this be Frank?

Name: Frank George Smith
Birth Date: 28 May 1913
Date of Registration: Oct 1984
Age at Death: 71
Registration district: Haringey
Inferred County: London
Volume: 12
Page: 1732

Not seeing a death for Doreen but with the name smith it can be difficult

If you had her date of birth it would make it easier but she could still be alive of course or died in the last 5 years

Did they have four children between 1950 and 1957 in Hampstead?

Hi Jax , Thanks you for your help. I only know that Doreen Ivy Sacre married Frank George Smith in 1945 . Doreen I believe that was born around 1923 and Frank 1913 .
I think you have found Frank George Smith .. that is so helpful. And they could of had children during this time..
It sounds the right area. Where were you able to find that information from and if so can it be developed. Thank you sooooooo much for your help so far.

Regards

Faye

Hi , no she is not once of these name. She was adopted at birth in 1944. Noone was named as the father on the birth certificate. She has no idea about her past and has only just started to want answers.
All she had was her birth certificate and her mothers marriage certificate but knows nothing else. This really helps and to think that she may have siblings will just be the icing on the cake for her....

pmd possible address - only possible as it is a Smith but it is the right age for one of the children.
