Trying to find my father

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Bernard Report 3 Sep 2008 15:06

Hya, can any one help please I was born in a Catholic home for unmarried mothers in Leeds October 1951my mothers name was Bridie Moss. late in 1951 my mother and I were taken by a man my mother told Catholic care was my father, his name was Bernard Lemon I think. He took us to North Newton near Bridgwater in Somerset.

Early in 1952 my mother and "Bernard Lemon" were separated. I have been told he was a European Voluntary Worker, possibly from Eastern Europe. His last known address was EVW Hostel Bridgwater. My mother then took me to a mother and baby hostel in Wellington Somerset were I was put up for adoption. I have recently traced my mother who sadly died in 1992 and my half brother and sister.

I would love to find out if Bernard Lemon was my father, and what happened to him but have no idea how to go about tracking him down. If anyone out there can help me I would be very grateful.!!!
