Hi Listers, I continue to research (amongst others) the Coleman family, and as a part I continue to seek detail related Adelaide Mary Blanche Smith.to date there is no known birth certificate for her, there is indication, though vague, that she may well have been adopted, but only from 1920 were adoptions recorded, before that period adoptions were in part made privately. Adelaide Mary Blanche Smith Married John Samuel Coleman in 1900. from that marriage there were children, one of whom was my mother, but we have been unable to find her birth certificate or baptism record/s. Can anyone help with detail and or advice please? It would be most appreciated. Kind regards Tas
