Rrawson

My mother was born 14/3/1935 at 77a Highgate Hill Islington London. Birth certificate shows mother as Christina Mary Owens. There is no DOB of mother and no details of the father. My mother was adopted and took the name Bentley living in Hucknall Nottinghamshire and attending the Brincliffe Grammar School. My mother was born NORMA VALIE OWENS and adopted name was JILL BENTLEY. my mother won a scholarship to the Royal Balet School but her adopted father refused to let her attend due to the scholarship having few prospects. She went to work in Lab Work at Boots factory in Beeston Nottinghamshire It was considered that my grandfather was a Fred or Reg Barron (adopted grandmothers twin brothers) this was never proven although there are strong resemblances. This information is unsupported and as such discounted. My adopted grandmothers family originate from Sculcoates Hull but moved to Nottinghamshire during the great depression. I have loaded my DNA to my Heritage but only match that came back was a second cousin to my mother called Robert Kelley from Wexford. He was married to an Owens however. Given they were second cousins it would suggest my mother and Robert Kelley share the same great grandparents. Despite emails I have not had any updates or replies on this. I am not seeking to meet long lost family more know what me roots are.
