Hello, New subscriber here though I have been reading the lists for a couple of weeks. My names being looked into are: FREER Malton 1877 Later became Taylor. This was my great grandmother. When she had my grandmother Elsie Freer (b.1895) it was alleged that she was adopted by the Taylor family. Any idea how I can check if this was a legal adoption? Other names, also from Malton are Marshall, Bradley and Longster. Good hunting Judith Benson.
