Hi Jan Like you I found no obvious trace of them in 1911 I did not find another birth to that couple, is it possible they went abroad ? Ah...just found them as a family group returning from South Africa in 1914 So suspect they were in SA in 1911 They still only had the one son on their return Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 23/07/2012 12:39, Jan Rockett wrote: > I have been looking on both FMP and Ancestry for the following family and am > having no luck at all.

Incoming passenger lists on Ancestry I thought you had access as you said you had tried there for the 1911 If not let me know and I will send the page Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 23/07/2012 15:05, Jan Rockett wrote: > Nivard you are a star!! where were the SA records please? > > Jan >

Could anyone tell me if they have tried getting information from Wandsworth Registrars? I am looking for the birth of a brother who was adopted out of the family. I have tried calling them but not got through. If I was to ask if they could access the registration I have would they do so and tell me if it is marked with an A for adopted? I know some will but have no experience of this office. Also when filling in the GRO certificate ordering form, what do I put in fathers/family name and surname? if no father is named? would it be the mothers name and surname again as that is the childs family name? Jan

There is an index for adoptions, its held at Kew. Try looking in index's with mothers name, that will help you if you need to find him via the adoption index's. In my experience, if he was adopted, the certificate you get will give you the relivant information you will need, then go through the adoption agency. If it was a fair time ago, also look at family, who may have a child about that age. Hope you find what you are looking for    Cathy Girl from the most likley place in England ________________________________ From: Jan Rockett <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 2 October 2012, 18:11 Subject: [MDX] Wandsworth Regiser Office and GRO Could anyone tell me if they have tried getting information from Wandsworth Registrars?

Nivard, I have just found them, thanks to you and they did have more children. 2 girls maybe born over there as I had already looked for siblings on Ancestry for Edwin Norman and found none. I think it looks like they were named Madeline C and Norah E. What do you think?
