I AM writing to ask if Citizen readers can help me try to trace my father and sister - Janice and James Herbert Lomax.

My name is Kym Metcalf, nee Lomax, and I was born in Fulwood, Preston, on August 29 1958, to James Herbert Lomax and Jean Lomax, who then lived in Birkett Place, Preston.

After exploring many other areas I have decided to try to contact anyone with the surname Lomax through local press and radio. My father and sister were last known to be living in Preston, or close to the town, in 1960.

Any information which Citizen readers can provide me with will be most welcome.
