dont have much to go on just that they were born 1925/26 in preston they were adopted at birth mothers name mary ann walmsley thanks angie xx

Does that mean you do not know the twins names? If that's the case then you're a bit stuck Sam

Angie, was the mother married? If yes I have got two girls born Preston, surname Walmsley, but mother's maiden name is Jones. I was assuming that Walmsley would be surname & maiden name. I have only checked 1925 Sam P.S just re read your post, do you even know the sex of these twins?

my friend doesnt even know if they were male or female the story goes like this his nan had 1 child and nearly died through child birth so his grandad refused to go near the nan again she got pregnant by some one else and the grandad refused to bring up another mans children so she was sent away to give birth and handed the twins over for adoption and thats all he knows but he would love to find out what happend to them a bit of a quest i know angie xx

thats amazin it must be them she was married but we dont know if the twins were registerd in her maiden name or married name can you send me the details please angie xx

Not Jones again Angela (see Sammy's post). What a sad story....... Merry

Mmm... more difficult than I thought in that case, a maiden name would be a big help, if it IS Jones then we might be on to something, but only their original birth certs. At least you would have birth names though. Legal adoptions didn't start until 1927 I believe, it is highly unlikley that you will get anywhere with this, but you could put a message on the trying to find board, if you have names Sam

Ahh....I've only just realised you are the Jones lady!!! I'll pm the details if you'd rather, or shall I post here? Sam

Can you find out the details of the one child that was born to the married couple?? Presumably the subsequent twins would have the same family surname and same mother's maiden name? Merry

lol im cursed with jones surname you can post them on here that be great original certs will be a start thank you so much angie xxx

Good thinking Merry December quarter 1925 Ada M Walmsley mothers maiden name: Jones District: PRESTON Vol:8e pg:671 Ivy A Walmsley mothers maiden name: Jones District: PRESTON Vol:8e pg:671 You're welcome Angie, as Merry suggests if this could be cross-referenced with the older child it would help you Sam

will ask my friend tomorrow and get back to you both many thanks again angie xx

Angela- Jut so that you, and your friend are aware, You ill be extremely lucky (and thats all it will be) to be able to trace these two. Adoption was not formalised until later and they may have simply been given away. Please dont get her hopes of finding them or their descendants too high

Sorry to be dumb -where is Preston?

Preston is on the road to Blackpool in Lancashire LoL Ang good look with your search but I think it's a very long shot as Ada and Ivy will be 80 (what lovely old names) now and born before formal adoption days. But you never know your luck in the big city :-)

iv taken all your comments on board thank you but hoping it is them cus there birth would still have to be registerd iv email my friend but not heard back yet will keep you all posted hugs angie xxx
