Tricky then.
She may have had one daughter with George Boyd - Sheila I - but can't see what happened to her or to George after 1939.
Mollie is listed with her parents/mother on electoral rolls subsequently at 14 Second Avenue. No sign of George.
Mollie had a number of brothers and sisters but no obvious other children registered.

unless you already have done so your best bet is to subscribe to ancestry or find my past to search all records..ancestry is not expensive..less than £15 for a month subscription

There doesn't appear to be any trace of Sheila after her birth registration - marriage or death. Nor does she appear on the electoral roll of the 1960s (that are available) with Mollie.
As you say you think Mollie was your mother, I'm assuming you were adopted so perhaps Sheila was as well and her name subsequently changed.
Apologies if that is not the case.

I don't know much about adoptions but you might possibly need to use an intermediary to look into it for you. That's assuming she was adopted.
Other members have more experience of adoptions so hopefully someone will be able to give more help.
You could also try a dna test but that is reliant upon Sheila or her descendants having done one as well to get a match.

Back again! I have found that Sheila died in Falkirk Scotland in 2011. Also found a couple of 1st cousins in the Birmingham area, via Ancestry DNA. Anyone have any info regarding Lisa Phillips - parents Maurice and Sandra Philips, or Sheila Jones - mother Evelyn Jones nee Chellingworth?

Sorry to ask but...The Sheila Boyd who died in Falkirk seems to have dob 2 Dec 1939 (not 28 Dec) and is listed as Mrs Boyd. Are you sure it is the right person?
Thank you Janice. I have a copy of the birth certificate for Sheila which states she was born on 28 Dec 39. It maybe you are right about it being the wrong person in Falkirk. Where did you find the record above? John
jan is it possible they missed out the 8 on date of birth on this record you found...just a thought

It came up on Ancestry in UK records as opposed to England and Wales records. As I said it is attached to a tree showing this Sheila as being tge daughter of Mollie and George. I have learned over the years to be suspicious of trees with no (or few) records attached as evidence.

Could be but also Mrs. You would need a death cert to be sure. Not sure how you get Scottish ones. I just raised it as a note of caution.
Hope you don’t mind me butting in but I am searching for information about Norah Dutton b 1914 who is I think the sister of Mollie Dutton . Norah married my mother’s brother George Henry Ford. Information about Norah and her descendants would be helpful if you have any. Tinpot

Scottish equivalent of our GRO
Order a copy of a birth, death or marriage certificate
Order an official birth, marriage or death certificate from National Records Scotland if you need a copy or want to research your family tree.

Possibly Christine married Ian D Goodall, and was living in Tamworth, Dorothy married David Rock and was living in Walsall and Pauline married Richard G M Berry and was living in London & Seaview.
And sadly Christine may have died in 2004.
But can't be certain.
