“Trevor Scott Pettitt” celebrates his 65th birthday on 30/11/2023 I’ve been trying to trace my younger brother “Trevor Scott” who was adopted soon after his birth on 30th November 1958‚ 65 years ago.  My Mother died during his birth and consequently my Father‚ who was extremely distressed by my Mum’s sudden and tragic death‚ made the decision at that time.   My Father always wanted Trevor to know that he was born into a loving family and that if the circumstances had been different he would never have been adopted. After my Father died in 1986  I have continued to try to contact Trevor.  I have tried almost all the systematic approaches that there are: registration on adoption records and societies‚ adverts in local papers (South Herts) and Facebook group requests‚ searches of court and baptism records ( St Albans Cathedral).  And finally searching for DNA matches on ancestry and GENmatch.   No success. ————————————————————————————————————— “Trevor Scott Pettitt” celebrates his 65th birthday on 30/11/2023 My Mother‚ Muriel Florence Hannah‚ nee Cole‚ died in the birth of my brother Trevor Scott‚ 30th November 1958 at the Victoria Maternity Hospital‚ Wood Street‚ Barnet‚ Herts. My Father gave consent for Trevor to be cared for by the hospital and soon made the decision for him to be adopted.  There is a series of letters from the organisations involved in the adoption which give information about the adopting parents.  Whether or not this information is true or not is a moot point.
