DNA testing is really the only conceivable way you could ever identify your mum's father, and even that route may offer little help at present |

New England area possibly Rhode Island in the early 1920s.He was from Blackburn Lancashire and possibly connected to a cotton mill owning family.if anyone has an ancestor who fits this description i'd love to hear from them.Jeanette Dobson Lancashire England. |
