In 1946, during active service, as a Voluntary Aid Detachment nurse attached to the Army, my late mother gave birth to a daughter in July/September and she was adopted in Hendon.

The following year, my mother met my father on active service in Hong Kong and married him two years later.

I am their third son, now aged 58, and am completing our family tree and would love to include my half-sister as she is part of my family.

My mother’s name at the time of the birth was Rose Hilda McCor-mick, from Manchester and the baby was named Christine. She is the sister that I never had and would now be 65.

I can be contacted on 07751 380 237, or at bealcrofthouse@btinternet.com
