Family Tree - Tracing after Adoption?

Question:

Family Tree - Tracing after Adoption?

Just started my family tree and found out that my Late grandmother was adopted. My mother has also passed over. I only know a few details - she was born in lockerbie in 1914 and adopted by a family in Newcastle upon tyne. There is no remaining family on that side, so i can't ask them. As i don't know her birth surname, is there any way to trace this adoption on the net??

If you don't know your grandmother's birth surname, and there is no one left in your family who might have this information, I think it is highly unlikely that you have any chance of tracing her roots.

But one suggestion I have is that you contact Dumfries and Galloway Council (the area where Lockerbie is situated). They have a Genealogy Research Department. It's possible they may be able to help, especially if you know your grandmother's exact date of birth.

Here's a link to their contact details:
