I am posting this query from another forum. I can't give the name of the lady being searched for in case she is still alive, but I'm just trying to get suggestions of where someone could search next for more info.
The lady was born in June 1916 in England (birth reg found, certificate obtained)
She got married and had 3 children in the 1940's, in the same area as she was born (all certificates obtained)
Her last child was born in 1948, and her husband died 2 years later (certificate obtained, informant is his mother)
All the children were placed in care, and 1 daughter was adopted and moved to NZ. It is a relative of this daughter who is helping her search.
The daughter already has her adoption file, and knows from this that the mother's whereabouts were known until the late 50's, but that in 1960 she left her rented accommodation and gave no forwarding address. Prior to that, she had tried to regain custody of her children, and this info is also in the file.
Her daughter has searched for a re-marriage or death with no luck so far.
I haven't posted in the adoption forum, as the daughter already has that info, but can anyone suggest somewhere/something to help her find out what happened to her mother after 1960?
Thank-you all
