Trying to find my Father

My name is Holly Louise, I was born on the 5th December 1984 at Basildon Hospital in Essex. At the time, my mums name was Sally Ann Brockwell. I have two sisters, Jayne and Tracey, and a brother, Richard. I am trying to find my father, who knew my mum whilst living in Shoreditch. It would have been the early months of 84, when I was conceived. I have little information, other than his name is James, he had a motorbike, and his family either worked on a farm or owned one. He came to visit me in Basildon, a few weeks after my birth. And that was the only time. If anyone has any kind of information regarding the identity of this man, then please please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your time.

Holly I hope you are lucky enough to find details of your father. It may seem a silly question as I am sure you have checked but did your Mum name him on your birth certificate. Good luck Irene

Hi Irene, thankyou for your response, unfortunately my mother never really knew him very well. And so, when it came to the Birth Certificate, she thought the best idea would be to use the family name. This is why, without any surname to go on, this quest is going to be most difficult! Many Thanks, Holly

I have also found out that I had the place mixed up. The place that I was conceived was Sudbury, Suffolk. Goodness knows how I managed to mix them up!
