Find Living Relatives

Facebook or electoral roll

In this case we don't know if they are connected to your Thelma, so would wait to see if you get an answer

ok great thanks.
Do you use any other ways to locate persons apart from them being listed in family trees?

Don't expect one straight away from any of them.... some of the accounts are quite old and they may have changed their email address since...but fingers crossed one will answer...at least two look to be from the same family

Thanks have left messages but no responses as yet.
difficult to drive further when no-one comes back to you.

Sorry can you explain new to all this whom is will pm.?

Will pm his two names and some possible trees he is in...might be worth sending messages to the tree owners to see if they know anything

yes and she was Jamaican decent.

so that is not correct??

Did you contact the one married to a Mr Loague?

I am struggling to find the marriages in the right locations, i.e. Warwickshire.
are you seeing something I am not?
I contacted one Thelma Collins in Birmingham but she was Jamaican decent.

Moureen is almost certainly a mistranscription of Maureen

There are numerous possible marriages for their names in the right time-frame and geographical location

Why do you think they were adopted? there are a few Thelma J Collins marriages but not that many births

Thanks all I have, I know about Donald too however cannot find anything more on Moureen and Thelma. Thought also about Sharp being my fathers dad's name too.
I am not sure how to find Moureen and Thelma as there surnames names probably did change , could not find any marriages.

Karen.

There was also an older brother...........

Have you tried looking for info about the sisters yourself?

As Thomas was the father of the girls..........we presume.......perhaps he brought them up after his wife 'played away from home'

Haven't you bought a copy of the birth cert?

Your father was probably not the son of Mr Collins but as his mother was possibly still married to him the birth would have been registered in his name.....maybe the Sharp in his name was his biological father?

The marriage you have found is definately, that of my Grand mothers Elsie M Collins this I know, my father's birth records do not carry a fathers name. as it has only his adoption papers.
However his birth was registered by Elsie M Lees and he was registered as Barrie Edward Sharp Collins in 1937.
The Sisters were born in 1931 and 1933.

For clarity................

Marriages Dec 1930 (>99%)
Collins Thomas Lees Stratford 6d 1850
Lees Elsie M Collins Stratford 6d 1850

Was Thomas named as the father on your father's birth cert?

You could add yourself to the national adoption contact register.

It the sisters were adopted, and knew that they were, they may have added themselves..............assuming they have any wish to trace their birth relatives

Your post is rather confusing...............

I'm guessing that Barrie was your father's name........not his mother's,
