Find Living Relatives

:-S Hello I was adopted on 1942. and now have got my adoption papers , in which it has the name of my father.. I don't know if he is alive or dead but seeing he was born in 1912 (?) He was in the R A F during WW 11 . I most believe he is dead.

All I know his name was Ivor Scholfield and was born in Yorkshire. Can some kind person find out for me if he is dead, and where he died

Thank alot
Sheila :-(

Hi Sheila,

Are you sure of the spelling? Not seeing a birth for Scholfield. There is one for Schofield but he died the same year:

Births Dec 1912
Schofield Ivor Chapman Todmorden 9a 344

Deaths Dec 1912
Schofield Ivor 0 Todmorden 9a 274

Hello Mark, yes sorry it was a typo . it should be Schofield But it is Ivor , and he was in the R A F in 1941

Who is Mark?

Do you have your birth cert? Were your parents married? What was your mother's name?

No Ivor and my BM were not married . and I am reading the info of the adoption records, and there is not much information He was born "up north" he was plain Ivor Schifield. my BM was 18 at the time . and he was a "few " years older.

Apart from the one born 1912 who died all the others would have been too young

He was'nt an American or Canadian serviceman was he?

I dont know anything about adoption but did he sign these papers or was he just named?

No according to all the info he was born "up north" but from Croydon that could be anywhere north of the Thames lol in an other hand writting on the page someone wrote Egypt so I guess that is where he was posted

What I am saying is, was anything you have signed by him or could he just be a "name" ?

Very true I'm in Essex and anything further north than cambridge is up north to me :-D

It seems strange that there are no births...1925 would be too young there are a couple born then, Grimsby and Worcester

Could he be Scottish maybe...thats up north?

Jax I don't know 1 thing I have picked up is


Ivor Schofield was born in Tomorden Dec 1912 and Ivor Chapman Schofield died Dec 1912 So If I take that Ivor Schofield lived past his first year

Ivor Schofield born 1912 was registered with his birth and death in the same quarter so he can be ruled out completly....They are the same person but Chapman would not be mentioned on his death reg as it was his mothers maiden name

Infact that Ivor was a twin and they both died aged 2 months and were buried within a week of each other :-(

Oh Dear !!!!! how sad, well it can't be him/them . Oh Welll back to the drawing board Thanks

There is a CLAUDE IVOR on GR family trees born 1916
( 26 years old in 1942 )

You could ask the tree owner if Claude was in the RAF
( remember to unclick " view my family tree if you do not want them to have access )


:-)

Can see nothing under Ivor on Scotlandspeople

Hi Flowerpot2, I would not like to ask them as I was born "out of Wedlock" . my BM was left in 1941 just before I was born. So the tree owner would not know about me .

Hi, As an adoptee myself --- i would go throught my local social services or "Norcap" a charity to help people to find each other --- you could also contact the RAF archive to see if they can help.
regards Sally :-)
