Oh, just seen someone else's comments about multiple postings .... I'll check the other five threads to see which one is live! |

Actually, none of the threads seem to have much detail yet. I came back to this one just to say that I would probably attribute the 1981 marriage in Chesterfield to the Carole Orton whose birth was registered in the Chesterfield area in 1961. |

Also, if the adoptive parents changed her surname, then you could not trace her with the Orton surname. |
