have to say i am surprised at that considering that your mom is deceased and you are her next of kin..i dont know if they told you how long you would have to wait but even if they have a 100 year closure on info you should be able to obtain it in 2037
My dad was her next of kin so I dont know how it would work now as he passed away..it is quite frustrating thinking you are getting somewhere then you hit a brick wall
as your dad has passed away then you and any other of your siblings would become next of kin..without you giving us more info i dont think we can help you..for instance as you do know the name of your moms mom you could go on ancestry (you have to pay to use it and view records) and check the 1939 eve of war register to see where she was living and if anyone else was living with her...i could check for you but i would need your moms moms name and the address she was living at when she gave birth...
Thank you my partner is doing all the searching,you have just give me something I can give him
| when and where born | Name, if any | Sex | Name,surname and maiden surname of mother | Signature, description and resident of informant | when registered | signature of registrar |
| fifteenth november 1937 Hope Lodge Edgbaston | Patricia Irene | Girl | Cecilia Irene Harper a knitting machinist of 17 Bexley Road Kingstanding Birmingham | C I Harper Mother Hope Lodge Edgbaston Birmingham | twenty first december 1937 | J W Ardish |

bit confused irene..can you confirm that you know from the 1939 reg the name of the family your mom was living with when she was 2 and that she lived at 74 alwold road weoley castle..? this was just a normal house and is still there...click on link below for todays street view ..no 74 is the house to the left of the one with the white fence

Thank you for your replies, I have just seen them, and yes we realise that 74 alwold road is a normal house and that my mom wasnt adopted as her name only changed when she got married to my father in 1967, we didnt find anything about cecilia this is news to us, we did a lot of searching on find my past and myheritage but didnt come accross any of this information will look into this and again thank you for all your help
Hi is it possible for you to send an attachment about the court please I havnt seen any of it..I appreciate help thanks very much
Thankyou irene
Wow...i have no words...my partner is looking into all this..thank you irene
Thank you,feeling quite emotional at the moment,if this is the right people I feel very angry with him,also im wondering if he had any other child after my mum she was born 1937 as that would mean they may still be alive
i can understand that and i think a lot of us have had things like this happen..it was a totally different world back then with little or no support for single mothers and very often their families would disown them for falling pregnant not just as a single woman but the father being a married man...of course we can only guess this is what the circumstances were but looking at all the evidence including that clarence was taken to court for child maintenance its a good bet..the 1939 register shows no children but just to make sure we need to look for any hines children born from say 1929 to 1945 with mothers maiden name of lewsey..
Appreciate what you are doing,would appreciate if you could have a search for us as my partner can only get little bits
My partner has subscribed to ancestry for a month and is having a search,we found the court order he just going through things
