Think we need Cynthia to send one of her friendly messages on how to return to a thread, I'll PM her. Hadn't realised the poster was new to this.

On Ancestry theres a birth ref for a Gillian W. Matthews born 1949 Wolverhampton??

You really do need your adoption file. Maybe theres a middle name for Gillian.
Once you find that then the next step would be to see if she ever married.

Good luck and take care
Geraldine.

PS.. I see that your own birth was Wolverhampton too.

PPS..Theres also a marriage for Gillian W. in 1973 Wolverhampton.

Add yourself to the national adoption contact register

And bear in mind that this site is not secure, and any family the lady has now may notbe aware of your existence

Have you applied for your adoption file, it should have more details than just her name.

Also, your birth cert should have an address for her - you could check the electoral rolls a couple of years either side of your birth with the hope her family lived there.
