I have just joined the Ancestry site in search of my deceased (1992) father's birth relatives. My father was born in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia on 17th December 1925 and was adopted out in New South Wales, Australia to my grandparents at one week old. My father's birth mother named my father prior to adoption as Milton Edgar Ironmonger and he was registered as 'British'. The mother's name on the adoption record was Dora Ironmonger (mother's maiden name)and there was no father's name. The only other information I have is what my grandmother told me - that my father's birth mother was a wealthy young English girl who travelled out via ship from England with her mother to give birth to my father in Australia for 'social' reasons and then she returned to England. I have searched for a Dora Ironmonger in the English records and I can only find one born in 1904 in England which would have made his mother 21 years old at his birth. I have not had any luck as yet tracking down information on this Dora, but if anyone has information relating to a Milton Edgar Ironmonger I would be interested as his birth mother specifically named my father and these names may have been selected from an Ironmonger relative.
