She needs to go back to the adoption agency/social services department for access to her file. By looking through her file (probably with a counsellor) she may find out what happened to her brother ie sent overseas etc. and adopted into a family or even being brought up in care. If he knows he has other family too and whether he had come back saying he wants contact. Has Jean managed to contact any of her blood relatives who might be able to shed light. It's possible other relatives who know are mentioned who you could seek out. She could look on Friends Reunited to see if the parents are registered. Also in the Trying to Find section. If she has started her family tree on Genes Reunited she could put his original name in and see if anything happens. Also there's websites Lookupuk(.) com - Missing-you net where messages can be left.
