No it’s correct names !

Have been messaging Tracey with lots of info on the whole family too

But now we know David was adopted then can go no further

The tree on Ancestry, which I mentioned before, lists a third partner for Joan, but no marriage dated, so presumably she was just using his surname at the time of David's birth, for it to be registered under both Banks and Blinch.

The partner's name is George William Blinch - no other details given.
One male child listed, but details kept private - presumably that's David.
Only Deborah is listed as a child of Richard Thomas Banks - at least, a female child is listed, but details private.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

David seems to have been the child of a relationship but no marriage

The poster has been in touch with another son of the father but was asked not to contact the father

But all that history isn’t a help because David was confirmed as being later adopted
