499. Mozie3 : My cousin’s daughter recently took a DNA test which threw up a surprise relative. My Grandfather had a lady friend (at the same time as he was married to my Grandmother) and, although we all knew her, this new relative appears to have been their secret love child.
We don’t know any details about this person except that he calls himself Thomas Ryan. It isn’t known if Ryan is his middle name or his adopted surname.
His mother was Mary Hilary Bartle born in Birmingham on 26.09.1915 and she died in Kings Norton, Birmingham 06.05.1995. Date of probate 25.05.1995
Her address was 19 Coleman Court, Grovewood Drive, Kings Norton, Birmingham.
My Grandfather’s name was James Henry Corbett of Hollywood Farm, Hollywood Lane, Hollywood, Birmingham.
In the 1939 census, Hilary was listed as being at Hollywood Farm and her position in the household was listed as Secretarial.
We have searched for our previously unknown cousin on ancestry sites and the only two possible births listed, that would fit the timescale, are Harold Bartle, b, April-June in 1939 and John P Bartle born in Bradford-on-Avon Jan-March in 1944.
My cousin’s daughter contacted him, through ’Ancestry’ prior to July 2020 all she had in return was his fledgling family tree that shows the name of his mother and his father as ’not known’ Corbett and his maternal grandparents as ’Not Known’ Bartle and Mary Bartle.
We would love to meet him and welcome him into his blood family but are getting nowhere with our search for him.
We can only guess at the year of his birth and have no idea of the place or date of his birth or adoption.

510. Mjagr : My mum was born Sheila Warwick on September 19th, 1940, in Newport, Wales. She was a twin, and her sister’s name at birth was Shirley Warwick. I am searching for my mum’s twin, Shirley Warwick at birth. The twins were adopted separately. My mum was adopted by Douglas and Frieda Taylor, and raised in North London. The birth mother was Dorothy Iris Warwick, of Commercial Rd., Newport, who was born in 1923 to Gladys Mabel Warwick (nee Millington) and Herbert James Warwick. She later married and became Dorothy Dixon, and had a son, Edward Dixon. I was able to locate Edward Dixon, however his mum, Dorothy passed away in 1999 (the same year as my mum), and had not told her husband or family that she had had the twins prior to marriage and that they were adopted. I also was able to find a relative of Gladys Mabel Millington, the granddaughter of her brother, Ernest Millington. He has since passed away, but his wife recalls the adoption. No one that I have found has any information regarding the adoption. My mum’s adoptive mother, Frieda Taylor, passed away when my mum was 8, and her adopted father Douglas Taylor passed away in 1965. No one in the Taylor family has any information on the adoption either. I would dearly love to find my mum’s sister, but seem to have met a dead end. I live in Canada, and it is challenging. I did a DNA test and got no close matches. I would appreciate any help you could provide.
