Adoption record, Arthur Cratchley, Joyce Gardner 1920

My Dad was born in 1924 and his mother died in childbirth. He was adopted by his mothers brother and wife, this was by private deed with his birth father but required to keep fathers surname.
The adoption by deed was because there was no legal adoption in UK until 1926.
