Were you and your siblings adopted? If so, you should contact your local Social Services Adoption Dept. They should be able to help you trace your birth mother.

Alternatively, you could try entering her maiden name into the Search facility at the top of the screen to see if she's in anyone else's tree.

thank you for your help, but we wasnt adopted , we were brought up by my dad xxx

Unfortunately, Shirley's the only person with Andrea in her tree (I worked out Andrea's first marriage which gave me her birth surname). You have her a year younger than she is though, Shirley!

From the births index, it looks like she had a sister and a brother. Is she likely to be in touch with them, and are you? If you don't have the info I can send it to you privately, but please let me know in the thread here before I start doing more searching.

It was a quick search, I'll send you some contact info.

thank you janey for your help, my sister inlaw , has found my uncles address, and is going to see him , hopefully he can tell us some good news xx

and thank you cynthia, i was doing it wrong xxx
