Finding out more about an adopted son.

My Granduncle had a son who was adopted.

What a ridiculous query! First of all you need to give some details, like
names, places, dates. If the adoption took place before 1927 (assuming

Robin J Harritt...

I'm not even sure whether he means his 'Granduncle' adopted a child or whether
he means that his 'Granduncle' was the natural father of a child adopted by
someone else.

you are talking about the UK), then it would have been informal and not
covered by any adoption laws.

Robin J Harritt...

Before or after 1927 would be 'assuming' he's talking about England or Wales
wouldn't it? There was and is no Adoption Act for the whole of the UK and the
Scottish Act came in to force in 1931 didn't it? NI about the same time?

Your question is akin to asking "How can I find out about someone who
once played for a football club?" without naming the person or the club.

Try again.

Robin J Harritt...

If he is asking about someone who may still be alive then his first port of
call should perhaps be

Robin Harritt

How could I find out more (if possible) about his adopted son?
