How do I find my adopted brother?

[porfavour]

I only found this web site today and can't believe my luck. If anyone (It was tempting to go straight to both Dot and Noxlumos but I'm new here) can help me find my older brother I would be so grateful. My mother has always been evasive about the past, I only found out last month my father's name and I'm 45!. I contacted him and he doesn't want to meet, fair enough. The last remaining 'hole' in my past is the boy she put up for adoption, she claims in 1958, though I heard from my nana before she died, it was probably 1954 when she was 16. Today, I have used all the advice from this site and established 4 possible births, 2 in 1954, 1 in 1955 and 1 in1958. All she will tell me is his name was David, it is likely that when he was adopted it was changed. I also heard that his adoptive parents may have moved to Australia.
What I would like help with is what do I check next?..I have the ledger and page numbers but don't know which may have my mother's first name on, if any. I have got so far today with all your help from these pages, I must push on but need a bit of help with the next direction of research. Please help me...

Do you have the surname ?? There are various sites on the net where people are looking for people, genes reunited has a good message board and there are others like this www.lookupuk.com/search.html
If you put all the information down maybe someone will help .......

great advice there IAP.

If you do want to get the certificate, you should add your mothers name to the application as a form of confirmation of the correct entry and then you will be sent the certificate that has your mum's name on it.
