You will be extremly lucky if they send you the advice direct - in fact , they probably wont. Under current legislation , you need to have been councilled prior to recieveing this info- have you already had this? |

Could Mary perhaps have been born Thomas but married an Edwards before marrying a Rees? |

Hi Adele, Chrissie that is what I have been thinking if she is the right person she was 38/39 when she had Adele, she could have been a war widow, or it is possible she fell pregnant with you while he was away from home, that is why the adoption was necessary. It would make sense though that is why I cannot find a birth entry for her under the name Mary Enid Edmunds. Will send you a PM. Sheila |

That is unsual. most people , armed with their birth name, just send for their birth cert. I wonder why the councillor didnt apply for the court records then? I really wonder how an adoptive mums sister would get info/know anything UNLESS this was a 'between the family ' kind of adoption. |

Can I thank you all for your help it` is fascinating. M y aunt knew some details because she lived near my bf family`s home.It was suggested to my adopted Mum that she look after me because she couldn`t have children and so it happened.Since my adopted Mum died quite a few people knew I belonged to my bf`s family but nothing about my birth mother. Veru complicated I know. I can see the logic in thinking she married twice and would explian how noone can find her birth record.Best Wishes Mary |

Good morning Adele I have been looking for a marriage for the Mary E D Thomas that the ladies found last night. I was hoping to see whether we could prove or disprove whether this may be your mother. However, it is looking quite likely that it is a different lady. I finally found a marriage in July-Sept 1934 of a Mary E D Thomas to an Ernest A Rees in Swansea (Ref 11a 2387). So it would appear that this is probably the one that the two ladies found. Good luck with your search. Chrissie |
