Hello Palmers40, the information sounds great and I tried to find it myself from the info you gave me, but I'm not very computer savvy hence I need help, which is where I hope you come in-can you find the info and send a link or some other way to help me out?
Some information for you, I'm adopted and now 64 yrs old , Stella is my birth mother; however, I do not believe Stella May is my birth mother. My birth mother was Stella Duckett born in 1927. I'm not sure if Stanley is my Father.I've been on this trek for three years now and this is the closest I've gotten to either of them, with great anticipation I await your response.
Hi I,ve just come across a marriage 4 Stella Duckett & Stanley Malcolm Rawlings : Dec qt 1949 :District is Surrey Vol 5g Page 930. could this be your family
Hello Liz, yes you are correct about the marriage.Some information for you about myself. I was born in 1948 in Hendon N London. Stella is my mother,however I do not know if Stanley in my father. My Birth name was Toni Duckett( although I am a male) and adopted at about two weeks old.Stanley however died on Oct 19 2005 in Western-Super-mare, but to date I have been unable to find an obituary on him, any help with this would be fantastic as it may give us some information on Stella who was born in Headington,Oxfordshire in 1927.
As you live in the area I was wondering if you had access to phone book and could look for Stella. This is the closest I've gotten to either of them, with great anticipation I await your response.
If you look at the Members' Surname Intrerest list you will find another member researching RAWLINGS in Weston-super-Mare - Have you contacted them to see if there are any links?
http://www.192.com/people/search/ is a web site which does show a Stanley M RAWLINGS living in Weston-super-Mare in 2002-3. This is according to the electoral roll for that year, although unfortunately no other occupants are shown at that address but you could get the actual address for a fee. If have a copy of his death certificate - it would show who the informant was which might give you a clue.
You could try looking for siblings of Stanley or Stella to see if any are still living and could help.
You might also try an entry in the local newspaper asking if anyone knows anything about him. The Newspaper can be found at http://www.thewestonmercury.co.uk/home and it does print letters to the editor with your type of query.
