Joan Allan continues her column on tracing missing relatives

Two two sisters have been reunited. Everything is wonderful at this stage but the birth mother doesn't want contact with the adoptee. Because of the confidentiality of this particular search no names are mentioned.

Other searches

MARK WILLIAM X. Adoptee search for (birth name) Mark William X born 15.7.63 in Mary Stanley's Nursing Home in Bridgwater.

Mark stayed with his birth mother for nine months. Adopted through Taunton Juvenile Court. Birth mother, Thelma, and sisters wish contact if possible.

MICHAEL ANTHONY X. Do these details ring a bell? Adoptee search for (birth name) Michael Anthony X dob 20.11.58 or 20.10.58, who was in a mother and baby hostel in Snowdon Road, Fishponds, for three months with his birth mother.

Birth mother, Miranda June X, and half sisters wish to have contact, if possible.

ZOE MARIE X. Zoe Marie was born 27.6.72 in Bristol Maternity Hospital and was adopted by two teachers in Bristol. Mother Margaret and sister would love contact if possible.

CHARD, Hilary Dagmar (maiden name), who lived on Devonshire Road in 1965 with Robert H and Janet M White. If anyone can help me locate Robert and Janet they may know where Hilary is. Darren is searching for you. We think Hilary was married into the name Lunn.

GARBUTT, Daniel Jason and Kelly Marie (birth names). Believed that the first names haven't been changed due to the fact that they were adopted/fostered as toddlers.

Their birth mother has been searching for years for news of her children and wants to know they are alive, well and happy. If there is a possibility of having contact with her children she would be over the moon. They were adopted in the Birmingham area, around 1994.

HUGHES, Margaret Ann (maiden name) born approx 1921. Worked as a domestic in various nursing homes and possibly Colston School.

Addresses known: Avonleigh Nursing Home, Stoke Park; Iddesleigh Road, Redland and Bellevue Crescent, Clifton. Also her friend, John Patrick FLEMMING, who at one time also lived at Avonleigh Nursing Home and was a lorry driver. Searcher daughter Margaret (now) Bryant.

MORRIS, Pauline Marcia (formerly Rogers) and MORRIS, John Benedict formerly of Long Cross, Lawrence Weston or any relatives of. Searcher Pauline Annie nee Morris.
