would seem sister Grace may have adopted your dad as he wasknown later as Wilson?

England & Wales, Marriage Index, 1916-2005 about Grace Thompson
Name: Grace Thompson
Spouse Surname: Wilson
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1936
Registration District: Gateshead
Inferred County: Durham
Volume Number: 10a
Page Number: 1860
Find Spouse: William E F Wilson

so they had been married some time before your dad was born .

They may not officially adopted him though just changed his name to Wilson. You can be known as any name as long as its not to defraud.

Your dads adoption papers though would only be open to him . If he has passed away then the papers are closed I am afraid

Emma are you trying to find decedents of Eleanor siblings?

The informant on her mums death cert could be family that will give you some clue.

Hi
Am not connected in any way to the family .am another genes member who helps with look ups.

So from your info given on your dad it loooks like I have found his mothers birth family

Afraid if his birth cert doesnt name a father then that's a dead end for a name

Hi there.
I can add ad much light as I can.
Thankyou for your reply :)
My name is emma wilson i am 41 years old. My father was george william wilson he passed away in 1986 at the age of 42. He was adopted or given up as a child and I am trying to trace any family. I have found out that from his birth certifcate that his birth mother was eleanor m Thompson . The granmother that I grew up with was grace wilson whos maiden name Thompson eleanors sister. Grace married william e f wilson who I adpted george my father. I know there were other thmpson not sure about them. On my fathers birth registration eleanor m thompson has obery as mothers name who I believe is a sarah obery ? I have been trying to trace my dads side of family tree a while but got a bit stuck tjis far. My father was born 5th dec 1943 I mother eleanor m Thompson.
If you can add any light I would be so happy. :)
Kind regards emma
