It turns out that the anecdotal input from my adoptive parents does not reflect the reality. Particularly my birthplace and the area my mother came from. So there is another possibility.
The good news is that there are only two people within a reasonable age range who live in the North of England who have my birth mothers name - which I have confirmed as correct. I have tracked both down as they have rare names and both married men with rare names!
So I have my original option and one new option. This should all be resolved within the next two weeks once all the birth and marriage certificates arrive.
What I do know is that I was born in a Salvation Army home, Hopedene, in Elswick, Newcastle. A quick Google search indicates that there are many children from this home in the same position as me. I hope they have the same level of luck I have had so far.
