Her birth name is i think it is Betty Joan Anne Gamble.
She was born in Brisbane QLD in 1958.
She was put up for adoption in 1958 because our mum was only 14/15 years of age at the time.
Her mum's name was Maureen Jeanette Gamble.

Without other information, I tried to find your Betty, however, I went to find a grave to see if I could find Maureen but without knowing her married name I could not find her. But then I went to Familysearch and put Maureen's name in and I found a Florence Mary Jean Campbell that died in 1963 buried in Nundah Cemetery, Queensland, Australia.
I also found a Maureen Mary Campbell that died 31 Aug 1992 Gatton, Queensland, Australia
Then I found Betty Joan Campbell Lusk Died Jan 24, 1976 Witta, Queensland Australia.
I don't know if these are the people you are looking for but I could not get dates of birth. I could go back through though, if you need me to. Let me know something and I will try to help in anyway I can. Nsueturney60

Adopted children don't keep their birth name.
Your only hope is that she sees this.
or you register on this site below
Adoption Register
OR you do the simplest thing and contact

sorry! (gremlins) you could contact Queensland Births Deaths & Marriages and ask them the way to go about it.
Of course too your half sister is probably married - and there's another name.
Maybe try Facebook

I must add, I do hope you find each other.
These posts show up on google world wide so if she is looking for her birth mother and she has her/your mother's details from her birth certificate or been told, the first thing she would do is look online; so make a journal and head it with your mother's name and add what you have on here but also give your mother's birth date and a few other things she might key in if your sister were looking for her. No addresses or phone numbers she can private message you.
