Looking for Birth Mother - Zoe Leach

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Bethany Report 22 Jan 2018 20:20

Hello,
I am trying to look for my birth mother and I'm not sure where to start. I was hoping to leave her in peace but recently because of something I am wishing to pursue I need my full family medical history and I obviously need her to start with that.
If anyone has any tips I'd really appreciate it.
I was born in Blackpool in 1994. I don't want to give away too much because if she see's this I want to be able to confirm it's her.
Thank you so much!

Bethany, do you know your mother's age when she had you? If you don't want to put any details on here you can click on my name to send me a message, I could then look at possible entries on the site I have a sub to for births and possible eroll details.

Hello, I don't I'm afraid I would have guessed she would have been around 21-<30 I have pictures of her and I can't imagine she was much older. I just don't want to put any details of myself as then she could confirm my name/ adoptive parents name so I know that it is her?
She also had another child called Anthoni. In a picture I have of them both form 1996 and she looks around mid to late 20s and he looks around 4? I have also just noticed now that she has an engagement ring on her finger but I couldn't find anything in the marriage records so I'm not sure if I'm bad at this or if she just didn't get married.
Sorry for the long post! and thank you for offering to help I appreciate it so much :)

Don't delete your account if you possibly can help it. Just let it lapse. Make sure you've unticked the 'Auto Renew' box under 'My Account'.

There's a chance that your birth mother's relatives will spot the thread and want to make contact.
As long as your free account is linked to a current email address, they'll be able to send you a message via GR.
