Does anyone know any useful websites that may help my dad and I find information about his birth mother MARGARET O'FLAHERTY from IRELAND. We presume she was born in the late 1930s-1940. His adopted name is MICHAEL JOSEPH SNOWDON, born 22.10.1956. He is unsure of his birthplace but was adopted from SOUTHWARK CATHOLIC CHILDREN'S RESCUE SOCIETY in South London. Thanks for any tips! |

Michael J. Flaherty (mothers maiden name Flaherty) OND quarter 1956 ALTON 6b 93. The details here allow you to acquire a birth certificate. Strangely,there is no ammendment to the entry which you often see,if later adopted. |

I thought the amendment was on the cert itself, not the index. The index is proof of the birth which took place. nell |

sometimes the last digits are changed,and a footnote added in some cases in handwriting referring to another registration,not always though. |
