Hi again, just a few thoughts to keep you going: Is your mum's address on your birth certificate? If so, (and I think it usually is), You can ring the local records department (I think I located my relevant one in the town library) and find out who was living at that address at the time of your birth from the electoral register. If you are lucky it will show parents and siblings if she was unmarried, or spouse if otherwise. Have you tried friendsreunited? (That's where I found my Dad!) 192 seems to be a good place to look once you have names and areas, there are often offers of 192 lookups on this board. Regards, Liz STS
