A Few of Our Members Currently Searching Within New South Wales Who Chose To Be Featured
1156. GregCollings : I'm looking for a sybling who may have been given up for adoption about 1945. Mother's maiden name is Minchin. I suspect my sybling contacted my mother at some point. I'm just trying to fill a gap.
1157. Gradyfamily : I am seeking information for my family of the birth parents for:
Constance Anne Hume
Born June 30‚ 1928
From Sylvania NSW
She was adopted at birth from a Sydney orphanage by Charles Hume and Gertrude Elizabeth Atkins‚ who lived in port hacking road Sylvania‚ NSW.
She married Thomas Mercer Grady April 6‚ 1949.
1160. AlanKealley : Seeking information on Aunt Evelyn Mavis Dyer.
She was born in Subiaco‚ Western Australia.
Her Mother is Lena Florence Dyer‚ my grand mother.
Evelyn’s father is unknown.
Lena’s husband Ernest Dyer was away on WW1 war duties in England and did not return to NSW till 1920.
Lena returned to NSW in 1919 and I feel she privately adopted out Evelyn around this period. NSW did not record State adoptions until1921.
Any information regarding Evelyn would be appreciated so I can fill in this mystery on my family tree.
1161. AlanKealley : Evelyn Mavis Dyer was born in Subiaco‚ Western Australia.
Her Mother was Lena Florence Dyer‚ father unknown. Husband Ernest Dyer was away on WW1 duties.
Lena went back to NSW in 1919 where I feel she privately adopted out Evelyn. NSW does not have state adoption records until 1921.
Evelyn is my Aunt.
Any information would be appreciated and would fill in a mystery in my ancestry tree.
1162. LookingforLeeza : Looking for a sibling Lisa Marie Harrigan. Born around 1972 in Sydney. Mother is Rosemary Harrigan (Stone) and father Richard John Harrigan. Suspect this was a home birth as we can’t find any hospital records.
1164. Lil23 : I’m looking for any family! I was born in Lithgow hospital 23/6/72. All I was told is they think my birth mothers name could be Catherine Kearns! She was apparently 16. That’s all I know!
1165. RebeccaMary : My late Mother...Patricia Ann Jamieson (nee Mckecknie) was 15 when she gave Birth to a Son at Paddington Women’s Hospital‚ New South Wales Australia. My Mum gave birth around 15 yrs of age about 1967 at 15 yrs of age. She gave Birth to a Boy she named Greg or Gregory. She was forced to sign adoption Papers even though my Mum and Grand Parents had planned to bring Gregory home. I think he was born early June 1967. Please help. My Mum is passed but I have been a only child and would like to approach the chance of finding out or contacting my long lost half brother.
1168. Recordsearchfriendhe : The adopted woman I am trying to find information or family members of. Lee-Ann was adopted as a baby but she also had a daughter who is now looking for family members of Lee-Ann
1169. Ramsayfaint : My cousin would like to find his parents. The surname might be Prince and he might of been born in Fairfield nsw hospital. His adopted mother has just passed away. And he mentioned he would now like to find his real family.
1170. AlanKealley : require information about Evelyn Mavis (born Dyer) who was born at Nurse Lloyd’s Private maternity home in Subiaco‚ Western Australia.
Her mother was Lena Florence Dyer.
Father given as husband Ernest Dyer‚ but he was on duty In England 1916-late 1919. So Evelyn’s father is unknown.
Evelyn was not officially adopted out in WA as no records exist.
She may have been privately adopted to friends or she may have been adopted out in NSW as Lena returned there in mid 1919.
Any information would be welcomed.
I was matched with my birth mother just minutes after setting up my profile. It turns out that she had been searching for me for years. It's been a joy to connect with her and the rest of my biological family.
