My Mum was adopted at birth, and in fact wasn't told that she was adopted until she was an adult.

Her birth mother was Lilian May Kent and her age when Mum was born in 1940 was 21, the birth certificate shows that Lilian was a ward maid at the Egham Sanitorium, Surrey.

We have done some research into this and have followed what we believed to be the most likely lady, however when Mum finally plucked up courage to contact a member of this same family, they felt there was no match.

Mum was a private adoption and due to a loyalty to her adoptive mother didn't persue her search in her lifetime. My Nan lived to 96, so this limits our search further. So if anyone out there has a Lilian May Kent in their family or tree that may possibly be a match, we would love to hear from you.
