I am writing to formally request assistance in locating any records related to a potential birth and subsequent adoption of a child belonging to my biological mother‚ Andrewina Melrose (maiden name Cowan). I am seeking this information to determine if I have a half-sibling. My mother‚ Andrewina Cowan‚ was born on September 6‚ 1935‚ in Edinburgh‚ Scotland. Her mother was Mary Cowan (Hush). Her address in December 1954 was 4 East Adam Street‚ Edinburgh. I believe my mother‚ Andrewina Cowan married Albert Melrose (born June 24‚ 1931) on December 24‚ 1954‚ in the District of St Giles in Edinburgh‚ Scotland. They subsequently migrated to Australia on February 1‚ 1956. Albert Melrose is not my biological father. I suspect that my mother‚ Andrewina Cowan and Albert Melrose may have had a child who was placed for adoption sometime between 1952 and 1956‚ either before or shortly after their migration. Any information you can provide regarding a birth or adoption record for a child of Andrewina Cowan‚ potentially fathered by Albert Melrose‚ would be extremely helpful for my family research.
