My name is Jan.
Birth name Linda Norman.
Looking for sister born Christine Jeffrey
Sept 1957. Chelsea area.
We are a large family and Christine is the only one now unaccounted for.
I believe she has tried to make contact a few years ago.

I would be grateful for any info.

Look for her birth on FreeBMD and leave a message on the link

If she looks for her birth cert she will see your message and can then send a message

Unless her new name is known then no one can help I,m afraid

Linda,

I think I see your birth registered and the MMN in Jeffrey.

Yes my mistake it's Jeffrey not Jeffries.

Did you find Christine Jeffrey 's birth certificate?

I'm finding nothing.

I see other potential siblings Jacqueline, Clifford and Bradley. Is this correct?

Wait, you edited your initial post. Didn't you say born Christine Norman August 1958 initially?

Looks like you have found this:

Births Sep 1957
JEFFREY Christine JEFFREY Chelsea 5c 268

Add your mother's birth year to your tree on here. It's currently blank, meaning Christine would not find her if she came looking on this site.

Hi rose,
A bit confusing, but I read it thus: Born Linda Norman and looking for sister Christine Jeffrey, but Linda goes by the name of Jan.

Linda (jan),

If Christine tried to make contact previously, how do you know this and can you not follow up from there as this is a connection for starters.

Good luck.

I was also adopted at birth and my name was changed to jan.
my brother told me that christine had tried to make contact with him but he declined at the time.
We don't know who it was through and he can't remember when.
he has regretted it ever since.
I only met him 5 years ago.

You might also want to post your mum's name in this thread. If anyone Googles her name they will come across this site and your post.
