I wish I knew more about the British judicial system. There must be a
counterpart to the US Probate Court ... adoptions, wills, etc. If adopted,
there should be a document lodged in the courts officially making the child
a part of the new family. I'm thinking that by 1911 the sort of casual
"guardianships" that I've had to wade through would have been more
regulated. One can always hope.

IF my Aunt had been legally adopted, I wonder if I'd be allowed to ask the
question to the relevant authority(s)?
