Trying to find Derek and Doreen Lee

I am trying to find my brother and sister. He is Derek Tom Lee, he was born 1939 and I last saw him when he lived with the family on the Manor Estate approx 1960. My sister is called Doreen Ivy Lee (born 1937). I do not know her married name, as I have never met her, it could be that she was fostered and may even have had a name change. Their father was Tom Lee and their mother was Frances Lee (nee Parker, died 1939) and they were living at Savile Street, Sheffield when they were born. Any information would be appreciated. I have already traced another sister who had been fostered at a young age and always thought she was an only child. I would like to trace the others, and make her family even bigger.

Thanks for the help but have been there, phoned everyone locally. Might have to phone further afield next. Have been through the BMD records, ancestry.co.uk, the sheffield star. Just keep hoping someone, somewhere (especially Sheffield) might know either of them.

I probably should have given more information:
Doreen Ivy Lee born Sheffield 16/09/1937
Derek Tom Lee born Sheffield 24/02/1939

I came across that one and was really concerned but the birth date was wrong. I also thought she might have been married and her death cert would have her married name. As I said previously she may have been adopted and had a name change anyway. You can see the difficulty I am having.

Thanks for taking the time to help, much appreciated.
