Adoption Records
One of the chief concerns is what happens if you can’t find an entry in the BMD indexes.
In early records before 1860 the GRO index does have a high number of omissions as civil registration took a while to get established.
However later records do bring up the concerns of those that feel they may have been adopted and until now it would have required a trip to the FRC to consult the public index to adopted children.
This gives the name of the child, Birth Year, Date of Entry, No of Entry, Vol No
Birth Year is not present for all the records
Only the adopted child can apply for further information and therefore have the potential to find out more about their former families.
If you wish to consult the register it can be freely searched online by visiting Free All-inclusive Subscription
