Hi if any one could help me i would be very grateful. My birth mother was born in guildford i think and lived in milland a village near liphook. She gave me up for adoption in 1948 after i was born in 29th july 1947. Im trying to see if she is still alive. I think she married when i was born and her surname is possibly Tomsett.She named me angela margaret which i still have and gave me up to a lovely couple called Rose and William Etherton. Please could anyone help me i have hit a brick wall.Thank you

This looks like the marriage (although the name is spelt BreMford):-

Florence K. Bremford, spouse Dennis P. Tomsett
March qtr, 1948, Midhurst, 5h, 1024

Did you just type the name incorrectly in your title, as your own birth is registered as BreMford.

Hi Sheree,
How old was your birth mother when she had you?
The Florence K Tomsett dob is 1912. She'd have been 35, is that right?

Do you actually have your birth certificate? The only Bremford birth in 1947 is for a Heather A M Bremford.

I found a birth for a Flora K E Bremford. Could that be your mother?
