Hello,
My birth name was Joanne Graham and my birth mother's maiden name was June Graham (maybe married now). June was born in 1953 and orginally came from Lanarkshire but lived in Longsight, Manchester when i was born in 1974.

June had two other children before i came along, thier names are Michelle and Joseph.

I believe they all moved back to Motherwell, Scotland shortly after i was born.

I would really appreciate if if anybody could help me fill in the gaps :-D

Joanne, have you tried looking to see if there are any matches on other peoples' trees? Use the 'search trees' box above.
I assume you know the street where your mother was living. You could try a street search on Friends Reunited and see if anyone is registered for it - including neighbours.
It might also be an idea to check the electoral register for that address to see if any other adults were living there. Any clue will help.
Might I ask where you got your info from? Just wondering how repliable the source is?
I can't see a birth for Joseph in Manchester, but there is one with it as a 2nd name. Let me know if you want details.
