Can you help Gillian Rawle track down her family?

GILLIAN Rawle hopes fellow readers can help her track down members of her long-lost birth family.

Gillian, whose maiden name was Partridge, writes: "I was adopted in 1942 in Birmingham.

"I have been tracing my family tree on my birth family side and have discovered I have a half sister and also that my mother was in fact a twin.

"She was Wendy Bishop Parsons, born in St Asaph, Wales in 1921 a twin to Peter Anstis Parsons, who was killed in the war whilst serving with the Airforce.

"She married Charles Godfrey Davis in 1943. Sadly mother is also deceased. However, I have also discovered she had another brother, older, William H Parsons, born in 1912 in West Bromwich. Their parents were Frederick Charles Parsons and Mabel Elizabeth Parsons (nee Parr).

"My mother moved to Norfolk where she died.

"I am now looking for relatives of William H Parsons to complete the jigsaw."
