Find Living Relatives

Neil
I hear your hurt BUT you arent responsible for your brothers adoption,or for the actions that your parents had to take at the time

Those days were so different to having a child out of wedlock . I know we had neighbours in the 1950,s whose daughter got caught and the gossip was awful for the family .

Most times the daughter was shipped off to a relative out of the area or to a mother and baby home to have their little one . IF the mum was under 21 then her parents made the decisions about whether the baby was kept or not . Most times the girl went away before she "showed" and came back later as if she had been working away

Woolwich is my own area . I lived in Charlton and the gossip if a girl was pregnant wasnt very flattering

Fairthorn why doyou say i am not a complete idiot i do not understand :-(

Neil that line of Fairthorn's is not in response to you, it is just part of the 'researching' box...you will see under my posts
"Researching:
Fishlock, and the lost Harriet Louisa Whetman. These are my research interests and do not constitute part of any reply I may post on your thread :-) "

some of us regulars put names we are researching, some of us put maybe an amusing remark like Fairthorn's "I am not a complete idiot...some parts are missing"... :-)

Best I remove it cos this is the 2nd time posters have misunderstood



:-S

I changed mine Fairthorn, I'd added a throwaway remark and it was taken the wrong way :-)
