Hi Lindsay,
It has been quite a while since anything was posted. This list has been
quiet for quite some time now.
Have you checked with the Family Search archives? Immigration records in
both Canada and UK? Marriage records in Canada and death records in the UK.
If adoption records are still sealed, Harold can apply to have then opened
in some state or countries. I believe there are sites that have locator
services to help adopted children find their biological families. I don't
know the names of them.
What relation is Harold to you? Living persons information, due to privacy
laws, cannot be posted on the list. However; you can share information
privately. I know this can be frustrating and does take time.
Good Luck

Subject: Re: [CHALK] Chalk family
I've posted this before but no responses.
I am looking for any relatives of Eileen Mary Chalk, born May 1935 at 3
Warbro Road Babbacombe, Devon, the daughter of Reginald Alec Chalk and
Dorothy
Mary Chalk nee Webber.
Eileen gave birth to a baby boy on 24th October 1951, birth registered in
Aldershot. She named him Harold Trevor Chalk. The father of Eileen's
baby was
jailed because at the time of the baby's conception Eileen was under-age
and
he had committed "statutory rape" (even though I suppose she was willing
at
the time...?) All I know of the father is that his name was Sid. Harold
was
fostered and subsequently adopted. His adoptive father died 40 years ago
and his adoptive mother became a religious freak and now lives in
Australia...so Harold is quite alone in the world here in the UK, with no
blood family or
descendants.
Eileen was "sent" or "emigrated" to Canada in about 1953. She
married
someone called Quinn and had at least two children, maybe three, and
returned to
England in the 60s. She would be 72 now.
Harold would dearly love to meet his biological mother or at least have
some
sort of contact with her, and would like to know of any other living
relatives
Lindsay
