Message Board Post:
My mother was adopted when she was a baby from a Children's Society house for 'Waifs and Strays' (I have not yet been told the name of the home specifically); her birth name is Sheila Cheesman and she was born in Aldershot, Hampshire. I believe however, the children's home may not have been in Hampshire.
She has very few details about her birth, only that her mother was young and could not look after her, with no details about her father. She was in the children's home for a period of time as a baby and was then adopted by the Knight family. We have not yet made any 'proper' efforts to find my mother's parents (such as, signing up to genealogy websites or looking for marriage records), however, I felt there may be a possibility of hearing something on this forum, since it is specifically for the Cheesman name.
I am very interested in finding out about my family history, so would be really grateful if anyone has any information regarding my mother's relatives.
