I have just been reading your excellent family tree on the web & found myself mentioned, to fill in the missing information maybe the following will help you ?
My natural Mother was Pamela Jean Skidmore born 8th March 1930 at Grove Farm Cottages, The Grove, Caversham, Reading, Berkshire, her parents were Arthur Ernest & Louisa Ellen Skidmore of the same address.
On 20th April 1946 Pamela married Robert Jack Wheeler at Reading Register Office.
On 11th December 1948 I was born & registered in the sub-district of Caversham, Reading as Roger Phillip Wheeler, the birth certificate list's Robert Jack Wheeler as my Father, but this entry is not true, in 1989 I traced Pamela & she told me the truth of how I came about.
Her first born was Diane Margaret, her Father being Robert Jack Wheeler.
This was not a happy marriage & Pamela had an affair with the owner of the local grocer's shop, Horace Fullbrook who was my Father. Robert J. Wheeler discovered that he was not my Father & gave Pamela an ultimatum - either I go or Pamela must go. Pamela took me to a run down cheap rental property, Jack kept custody of Diane at his home. Pamela struggled to support herself & look after me for 6 month's without today's welfare payment's before conceding defeat & putting me up for adoption. Pamela moved to Aldershot to start a new life & married Kenneth Trafford a taxi propreitor in 1955, they had three children, Michael, Susan & Julie.
Frank & Daisy Shrubb adopted me at 6 month's old as Daisy could not have anymore children due to having an hysterectomy just after the second world war. Daisy always's told me that I was adopted as a child, & that they chose me as I was the only baby crying as they walked down the ward looking for a baby to adopt.
Further update, my first wife Kathleen Mary (maiden name Naylor born 23rd May 1950 in Bolton on Dearne South Yorkshire) passed away on 16th February 1991 due to cancer, she gave birth to two son's John Damian & Matthew Robert, both alive & well. I married Sharon (formerly Hunter nee Butler) in 1992 & we are still happily married today. Hope this clears up the missing entries ?
Regard's, John Ernest Shrubb, Halifax, West Yorkshire.
