    Hi Poshspice1,



    Adoption as we know it did not start until 1937. Any adoptions before this time were usually informal arrangement either within the family or where a new family had more resoures to look after a child from a poorer family.

    hello again starlight.

    i know it will be a very long shot finding anything out,but my dad would really love to know more.he wishes hed asked my granny more when she was alive.

    i have spoken to him again today and he doesnt think that mary richardson tennant was anything to do with grannys birth mother.

    adoptive mothers maiden name was elliott.

    i will keep trying.

    thanks again.

    Hi Poshspice,



    I have just had a thought. Did your Nanny marry in Scotland, if so have you seen her marriage certificate as there could be information on there.
