Looking for information on my birth family, I was born Michelle Susan squire in Luton in December 72, mothers name Janet born in Bridgend 1955. It seems she married a man by the name of middleston in 74 a year after my adoption who I believe could be my father but I've drawn a blank with any further information regarding him or any other family members. Any advice would be great fully received |

Add yourself to the national adoption contact register............your mother may have done so as well. |

Are you sure it is the correct Janet? as there is one born London area in 1951 and a poss marriage for the 1955 one in 1992 which looks more likely considering where they lived and poss still live |

Thank you so much for all your replies, I'm pretty sure I've found the right Janet, she would have been 17 years old at the time of my birth , middle name Ann according to my birth certificate. It's possible that she could have been born anywhere as I believe her father was RAF and moved around the country according to his postings. My fathers name was John but I have no official proof that they remained together after my adoption except that it is implied in the notes my adoptive parents gathered ( in anticipation of the day I'd ask! God bless them) |

So It actually says she was 17 when you were born? |

I have something of an essay that my father volunteered to the social workers to be given to adoptive parents. It contains a fair amount of background on the family but very little usable information i.e. I can tell you what her hobbies were but not where she was born. My mother was 17 and my father was 20 at the time of my birth |

Don't think the marriage you found is the correct one. |

I have spoken to Beth by pm and asked if she knew what Janets parents names were (which she didn't know)...she has ordered the 1972 marriage cert which could be a first marriage? in which case if the father is who I think it is she probably remarried in 1992 is that what you are thinking also Rose? |

You guys are awesome! It hadn't occurred to me to look for a second marriage but the pieces all seem to fit. Thank you all so much x |
