Hi " gypsylee8",
Would you please send me a private message with the information you have relating to the adoption / state ward details you have for your David Charles SIMPSON. I may have a possible lead on David.
If you look at the registration numbers for the B*RN* / HOPWOOD children you will see the entries tally with each other, BD&Ms would have those entries cross referenced to each other.
If you purchase those certificates they should have a notation that they were cross referenced to another entry.
