You might also want to post your mum's name in this thread. If anyone Googles her name they will come across this site and your post.

Do you know Stephen who has your parents listed in his tree on here? If not, try contacting him.

Are you on the national adoption contact register?

I was also adopted at birth and my name was changed to jan.
my brother told me that christine had tried to make contact with him but he declined at the time.
We don't know who it was through and he can't remember when.
he has regretted it ever since.
I only met him 5 years ago.

Linda (jan),

If Christine tried to make contact previously, how do you know this and can you not follow up from there as this is a connection for starters.

Good luck.

Hi rose,
A bit confusing, but I read it thus: Born Linda Norman and looking for sister Christine Jeffrey, but Linda goes by the name of Jan.

Add your mother's birth year to your tree on here. It's currently blank, meaning Christine would not find her if she came looking on this site.

Wait, you edited your initial post. Didn't you say born Christine Norman August 1958 initially?

Looks like you have found this:

Births Sep 1957
JEFFREY Christine JEFFREY Chelsea 5c 268

I'm finding nothing.

I see other potential siblings Jacqueline, Clifford and Bradley. Is this correct?

Yes my mistake it's Jeffrey not Jeffries.

Did you find Christine Jeffrey 's birth certificate?

Look for her birth on FreeBMD and leave a message on the link

If she looks for her birth cert she will see your message and can then send a message

Unless her new name is known then no one can help I,m afraid
