Find Living Relatives

i'm trying to find my birth mother Pamela Bessie Shaw . I was born Janice Lesley Shaw in 1958 , reg adopted Jan 1959. My name was then changed to Beth Nolan .
I was born in Davenport maternity hospital, Plymouth, and taken to Bath to be adopted. The last address i have for my birth mother is Eveas Cottages Plymouth ( not sure of the spelling) , i have been told that i also had an auntie who died of TB
If anyone would be able to help this would be appreciated
thanks.

Was she married at the time of your birth?

Do becareful banging her name on here, she has a right that her most private 'business' isnt broadcast.


Are you certain you were born with the surname Shaw?

How much research have you already done yourself?

Birth reg Q1 of following year. Parents married 1952, and possible re-marriage for mother in Plymouth 1959?

Take a look at FreeBMD:

You can see her birth in 1933 and she also had siblings. Put the mothers maiden name to find them.

Looks like you have siblings also. Do you know this?

This is the marriage that Flip refers to:
Kenneth E G Prout
Spouse Surname: Shaw
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1959
Registration district: Plymouth
Inferred County: Devonshire
Volume Number: 7a
Page Number: 1202
Pamela B Shaw Prout Oct-Nov-Dec 1959 Plymouth Devonshire,

posted up because there is this death:
Kenneth Edwin G Prout
Birth Date: 15 Jan 1937
Date of Registration: Sep 2000
Age at Death: 63

Pamela B and Kenneth G were showing in 192.com in Pontefract for 2002 (registered and then died?)
However there is another Kenneth E G Prout born in 1935.

Pamela B showing 2003 -2009 in Pontefract.

Can you explain why you are posting under the name Emilie Driscoll?

The hospital you were born in was probably Devonport and not Davenport.

There's a Garry who has Pamela and Kenneth in his tree on this site.

Garry's Father could be Pamela's brother.

Emilie is actually Beth Nolan's daughter?

Garry also has Bernard - Pamela's first husband. Must be worth trying to contact him.

Just noticed Emilie/Beth is a new member, have sent PM on how to get back to the thread just in case she doesn't know.

Thank you all for hejping me , however i;m not sure how to post up & to get private messages , would any one be able to help me?
thanks

thank you all ,
just getting the hang of this, i have sent a message to you all individually , .
thanks again

Who told you there was no file/ no info on the file. Who actually applied for it? The person herself that was adopted or someone else?

Reply in the white box below- its so much easier

Did you contact Garry yet?

Rose

I did send a message to gary on genes reunited but have not had a message yet , however i think i have found his tel number . Not sure what to do next?

The adoptee (myself beth driscoll) applied for the folder from social services around 20 years ago , and they informed me that they could not find any information on my adoption. Have also tried a private investigator , however he was not that good , only found out as much as i have .

Hi Beth

I assume social services provided you with a copy of your original birth certificate? You need to contact them again and request your adoption file, it is a legal proceedure and there is a requirement for it to be kept and made available to you on request.

Have you checked out your possible siblings, mentioned earlier by Rose?
