I was born in Bishop Auckland to Lily Turnbull of Chester le Street in January 1953 and was put up for adoption. I believe Lily's maiden name was Shaw. At the time of my birth she was an assistant matron in a boys' school. Does this ring any bells with anyone? My daughter has a genetic 'blip' and I need family medical information as well as wondering if I have any birth family.
