Where to find adoption records??.....

Post by delmarco » Thu Jun 15, 2006 4:08 am

Hi All:

AS always turning to you all for help! I have found the death cert for a great aunt, Margaret McMenemy, ms Markey, 4 Jan 1940, the witness is listed as her adopted daughter Annie McLaughlin 7 Cooperswell street Glasgow. Where might I turn to find more info on Annie??

Regards,
Karen
Make it a great day!

Karen,

Can't help you with your adoption query though I was interested in the response as I have also found an adopted son on a 1955 death certificate. The reason I'm writing is I noticed Mitchell in your list of family names. My Mitchells came from Aberdeenshire but some of them ended up in Glasgow in the early 20th century. Any possibility of a connection?
Have in the tree two brothers George and Peter Mitchell married to two sisters Martha and Margaret Russell, if that rings any bells.
