Trying to find Carol Bell

For my mother, I am trying to find Carol Bell, born as Beryl Rosemary Mee to parents Edward Mee and Mabel Doreen Mee formerly Bell. She was adopted at approx. age 7 or 8 by her Uncle Archibald Bell and wife Grace. They lived in Southall and Uxbridge for a while, then Grace took her to live in Brighton. Contact would be wonderful, though not required if not wished. Just letting my mother, Olive Beauchamp (Bell), know she is O K would be more than we could hope for.

HI There.

Is this her uncle's marriage? I might be inclined to look for his death, or that of Grace, and see who registered it.

Have you tried putting all the names you have into 'search trees' above?

Are you certain they changed her first names? Seems a bit drastic if she was 7 or 8 years old.
