Hi, I hope somebody can help please. I am trying to find my half brother and sister who were put up for adoption before I was born. My father David Tomkins had to put them up for adoption due to private and complicated matters. They were born in hereford. Their names were Imogen and Lee Farrell. Their mother was called Fiona Farrell. Lee was born in 1977 and Imogen in 1976.

As far as i know they moved to Kidderminster upon adoption and that is their last known whereabouts. I am unsure if they have changed their names and have no idea or way to know how to find them. If anyone can help i will really appreciate it. thanks.

Jamie,

You might want to put their names in your tree. That way, someone might spot them.

Their births are registered under Tomkins not Farrell. Fiona and your dad were married before they were born.

Jamie, their births are there under Tomkins as Rose says, but can't see any marriages - if adopted they will have changed their names. Have you tried social services, they will be able to advise you.

Sorry you are absolutely right, I pulled their birth records off a few months ago and was looking at the information wrong :P

I will put them in my tree as suggested and will try contacting social services this monday and will let you know how i get on.

Thank you both :)

Welcome to the Boards and GR, Lee.

As Jamie may not be checking this thread after so many years, best to send him a personal message by clicking on his name. Hopefully he is still using the linked email address and be able to reply.

In the meantime, its best if you edit your post to remove your mobile number. These boards can be read by anyone. You might end up with prank calls. :-0

As Lee is a new member, PM sent to him in case he doesn't realise how the system works.
