Note on Birth Certificate
Posted: 25 Apr 2021, 23:02
Background to query I have been aware of facts relating to my Mother in Law for the past 10 years but have agreed to not reveal them to my wife or the person who's Birth Certificate (Person A) is extracted from. Recently following the death of the husband of person A a Birth Certificate was requested by Pension people for benefit payment. The daughter of A asked the Register Office for A's Birth Certificate when registering the Death of her Father. Registrar said they could not issue and they should refer to Adoption site. As I am aware of most of the facts ( A was raised by her Grandparents and brought up with my wife and my in-laws) and as A's daughter was not at that time aware of what I knew I requested a Birth Certificate from the GRO on my account. When it arrived it had the note shown in adopt3 I passed the information on to A's Daughter as she was doing the paperwork for her, A is in her late 70's. I had a conversation explaining the Elderly Aunts warning off of my knowledge 10 years ago. We are both hoping to keep it under wraps from A and my wife. A's daughter in preparation for more information coming to light as she completes her late fathers estate requested from GRO web site the details of the adoption and got the reply adopted2
Question is there a way of obtaining the paperwork showing the Grandparents adoption as this would be much kinder if we have to have a conversation with A and her half sister. The Birth Certificate clearly indicates A's mother as my MIL but no father is named and MIL did not marry wifes dad until 1947
