General Chat

I think I would buy the birth certificate for Lucas or one of the younger children to find Jessie's maiden name, then look to see if Grace Emily was born with Jessie's surname before marriage.

Thanks Shirley, i do have them details, but i can't find a birth records for her, even been to Birmingham Reg office and nothing shows up, so thats where i was wondering if she was adopted in any way, and kept it in the family as you do.
Regards Margaret

One of the other childrens birth certs will give Jessies name so i would get one of those first.

Grace seems to be the eldest so could well be Jessies child only

Thanks, i was wondering when they started.

Unfortunately official adoptions did not start until the 1920s.

Could someone help me find maybe an adoption around 1894.
as no birth records can be found
The details i have are Grace Emily Rugg borrn in Birmingham 1894 so the 1901 census state. Father Joseph James - Mother Jessie.

Thank you for your time.
