Find Living Relatives

Hi..There was a Doris M Diffin born in 1943 in birmingham to an unmarried mother...hope this helps... :-)

Ann/Annette sounds good

There was also a marriage of a Ruth Diffin in 1953 Birmingham to a Leslie T Hayden There was also a birth of an ANNette Diffin in Solihulll Birmingham in 1949 (mmn Diffin).

It does look like that this Ruth Hayden died in 1980 Birmingham and was born 28.12.1919. But it is another idea to throw into the ring.

This could be the Ruth who married Meyer

Name: Ruth Isobel Meyer
Birth Date: 17 Jun 1924
Date of Registration: Sep 2001
Age at Death: 77
Registration district: Chelmsford
Inferred County: Essex
Register number: C16G
District and Subdistrict: 4681C
Entry number: 128


They had first child Newcastle 1951 and 2nd in Chelmsford 1952

Right, okay, we know what we are looking for now.

Presumably you were adopted - have you seen your files?
Yopu need to by the sound of it - get some facts

You may well have been born in Birmingham , she could have been born just about anywhere.

How do you know about Ann? There looks to be an Irene, born a bit after you, aslo Birmingham. but not an Ann in a realistic place or timeframe


Interestingly there is a Ruth I Diffin marries not long after you were born

Did your Ruth Have a middle name? ( curious that the child born in B'ham just after you has a name starting with I)

So you're Audrey I. Born 1946, Birmingham with mother's maiden name Diffin? But ther's no other Diffin birth with mother's maiden name Diffin between 1935-1946.

no that would make ruth 43 when she had me in1946 still searchin records t find info on ruth and poss my sister was 21/2 yrs when i born thanks for help :-)

So Maybe she ( Ruth) is the Glossop one,
That would make her born 1903, is that likely?

Ok so we are looking for a spimster, borm around 1920.

Have had a message, still not really much wiser, Think Ruth's Maiden name was Diffin

Still no idea how old she'd be, or who/where/if she married.

Was Diffin a married or maiden name?

Ruths marrying a Diffin.....
