Kenneth Linklate Stevens
I also now know my birth mums name was Ann or Anne Phillips or Philips
290. Gabby_h : Searching for information for my father-in-law who was adopted in England. Paul (my father-in-law) was put into a foster home around 18 months of age then adopted when he was 5. His birth father’s name was Roger Cripps‚ birth mothers name Jill (we think). Wondering if Paul has any other family out there.
291. GlynWin : I am searching on behalf of a friend who had her daughter on the 18th August 1968 in a mother and Baby Home in Buckrose‚ East Riding of Yorkshire. She was only 15 herself and had no option but to have her little girl adopted. She nursed her for 6 weeks before she was taken from her. She has never forgotten her‚ nor have I

300. Tonypettitt : “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.
