MY NAME IS ANGELA AND I MAY BE A FAMILY SECRET. I WAS CONCEIVED ILLEGITAMATELY BY VINCENT BOURNE AND HAZEL [DONT KNOW SURNAME AT TIME]. MY FATHER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL CANCER WHILE I WAS STILL IN THE WOMB AND DIED WHEN I WAS 18 MONTHS OLD IN JANUARY 1977. I BELIEVE HE DIED AT HIS FAMILY HOME IN STOKE ON TRENT WITH HIS WIFE IRENE AND SIX CHILDREN DAVID; LYNN; ALAN; SANDRA; KEVIN; DEBORAH. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF MY FATHER. MY MOTHER AND 2 MATERNAL HALF-BROTHERS WILL NOT TELL ME ABOUT HIM. I HAVE NO PHOTOS NOR HAVE I EVER SEEN ONE OF HIM. ALL THIS I HAVE LIVED IN RELATIVE PEACE WITH BELIEVING MY DAD TO BE A GOOD MAN WHO STRAYED. HOWEVER, SINCE THE BIRTH OF MY SON IN 1999, I HAVE YEARNED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT HIM. HOW TALL WAS HE? DOES MY SON LOOK LIKE HIM? DO I LOOK LIKE HIM? WHAT ARE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS LIKE? I DONT EXPECT TO HAVE MY CAKE AND EAT IT, BUT IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME TO LOCATE JUST A PHOTO OF VINCENT BOURNE 1934-1977 BURIED BUCKNALL STOKE ON TRENT IT WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME AND MY CHILDREN. I DONT KNOW WHAT WENT ON BACK THEN, BUT I AM NOT MY MUM. WE WERE ALL VICTIMS OF FATE. PLEASE HELP ME. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH IF YOU HAVE EVEN THE SLIGHTEST INFO. PLEASE HELP. THOSE NAMES AGAIN DAVID; LYNN; KEVIN; SANDRA; ALAN; DEBORAH.

Angela have you ordered his death certificate to see who was the informant and his address at the time?
