You could try doing a search on the Electoral Roll for her mother. I'm a bit out of data as to who is offering electoral roll look-ups, can somebody advice.

If the messages have not been read, there is nothing further you can do through GR.

If your friend does not wish to add her details to the register, she will just have to let the matter drop.

Although, I don't see any difference between adding her name to the register, and asking you to try to contact her possible birth mother.

Either way, she is seeking the same end result.

If they hav'nt been opened, it looks like she may have changed her email address.

I posted a thread in November asking for advice about approaching a lady that could possibly be the birth mother of a friend. I was advised to email the lady, especially as my friends details were added to her tree (assuming I have the right lady).

I emailed the lady on 18th November and twice thereafter and unfortunately she hasn't opened any of her emails. Does anyone have any ideas as to what to do next ??

I gave my friend details of the adoption register, but she is reluctant to add her name as she feels she is betraying her adoptive family.

Hope you can help.
Thanks
Jane
