PLEASE can readers help me find my family? I have tried various organisations but without success.

I was born Kerry-Ann Radford in Blackburn at Queen's Park Hospital in 1977. It is my father's side of my family I am looking for. Since trying to trace my family I have found out that my father Gordon Frederick Radford is deceased.

As far as I know his parents are still alive. Their names are Henry (Harry) Radford and Gladys Radford. They used to live in Church near Accrington.

Harry Radford was a school caretaker in Accrington. My father had a younger brother and sister. His brother's name was Alan Radford.

My father worked at a paper mill in Blackburn. His other employment before this included working for SGB Scaffolding, a railway porter in Nottingham and a long distance lorry driver.

My godparents' names are Harold and Maureen Jones. Harold worked with my father in the paper mill (back tenter), I was told my father got re-married in the early 1980s, to whom I don't know. He went on to have two sons.

KERRY ANN LISTER (Miss), (formerly Radford), 17 Rudds Court, Roper Street, Whitehaven, Cumbria. CA28 7BE.
