My husband was born in 1949 in Stoke-on-Trent England as Philip Chadwick.
His mother, her first or maiden name unknown, had been widowed shortly
before his birth, and with three sons and a daughter already in the
house, had him adopted, to John William (Bill) and Hannah (maiden name
Tams) Bates, who renamed him John William Bates.
He was told about his adoption and given these few details, but has
never contacted the adoptive mother if she is still alive and now would
like to track down his siblings and family, if at all possible.
Both his adoptive parents are deceased and we now live in the US.
Any information concerning possible connections please e-mail privately.
Thanks very much.
