My names Amanda Nyas(Bell) I'm looking for my brother who could possibly be in his 40's.My dad (Jim Bell) told me many years ago that he had a son to a woman called Mary from Berwick upon Tweed.My brother was brought up by another man who he knew as his dad.My brother never contacted my dad(who has now passed away)so he may not know of his history.My dad never hid his past but never tried to contact his son as he didnt want to upset anyone.I would love to try and contact him to share our family so if this story sounds familiar to ANYONE i would gratefully appreciate any information.
