Find Living Relatives

Janet,
What other information is on your adoption files to help us identify Gladys if, unfortunately, your lead is incorrect?
Thank-you.

Leanne what knowledge do you have, that the rest of us have not found.
Four Gladys M Dykes born 1898 to 1920, three marriages 1936 to 1942,
one did not marry, only one marriage for Gladys M to a Dykes in 1921,
all five deaths found 1940,1971,1978,1991, 2003, no connection found
via siblings aunts or uncles to Croydon, it`s only the unmarried Gladys
that can not be fully checked as marriage not found for parents.

at the moment im going with a message from anne lee she has given me a gladys m dykes that was married in rydale to a john wing she had two children, and i have contacted one of them and he is looking into the family history,i will keep you all posted cheers and thankyou for your help.

reggie posted a Nantwich and a Leeds marriage.

There is also a marriage in Ryedale.

The one born/died in Suffolk was an only child....but I can't see a marriage for Dykes/Howe, so perhaps the mother had been married before

Hi Janet,

The reference details you quote for you mother are YOUR birth registration details. She was unmarried at the time as her maiden name is also Dykes.

Do you have a copy of the adoption records?

Not seeing a birth or a marriage in the area for her but she could have been sent away to have you.
