A Formby Woman Claims She Is the Victim of a 61 Year Government Cover Up

Kim Walmsley

On 25th February 1965, a baby girl was born on Crosby Road North in Waterloo, Liverpool.

But according to official records, that baby’s birth was never recorded and her mother’s pregnancy was never recorded either by the doctor.

At the registration, unbeknown to the parents, the baby girl was registered as a boy. The parents bought their baby’s birth certificate that day and it said ‘Girl’.

Sixty one years later, that baby girl, now Formby resident Kim Walmsley, is still legally registered as male. This has affected the legality of her marriage, she was a prisoner of Britain for 15 years as she couldn’t renew her passport and the government refuses to correct the birth entry.

Kim’s book, Born To Order, tells the extraordinary true story behind what she believes was a systematic baby stealing operation operating during the 1950s and 1960s.

Kim was born at home. She says the doctor attending the birth declared her stillborn. A midwife attempted to leave with her, but events took a dramatic turn when another midwife intervened and the baby began crying.

Despite surviving, Kim’s birth was later registered incorrectly as a boy.

What makes the case even more astonishing is that Kim possesses two birth certificates, one issued in 1965 stating she is female, and another issued in 2003 stating she is male. Under current legislation, the birth register entry cannot be altered, meaning that despite having five natural born children and seven grandchildren, she remains legally recorded as male.

Kim has previously spoken publicly about her case and has appeared on national television. However, the matter remains unresolved. DNA evidence proves that Kim’s parents are her biological parents.

Her book, Born To Order, documents the events surrounding her birth, the alleged cover up, and her ongoing fight to have the official record corrected.

Born To Order

The story is a true crime drama, not fiction.

It raises questions about record-keeping, historical medical practices, and whether other families may have experienced similar circumstances.

Kim continues to campaign for legislative change that would allow historic register entries to be corrected in cases where falsification can be evidenced such as Kim’s.
