Was it possible in the mid 1800s to just give children away? I have a family where the children just 'go missing' . Some reappear and some obviously stay missing with the new name they appear to be given.... very strange.
I've gone through the census for years with just first names ... but if the surname has changed, I don't suppose there's any chance of ever finding them.
