We are trying to trace my husband's older brother who we believe was adopted in 1957 by a couple in the Bradford upon Avon area, possibly through the CofE Children's Adoption Society.

His name was/is Patrick Thornton, born 20/12/56 in London.

His mother was Margaret Thornton and his father was Patrick O'Donaghue both deceased. Patrick has three younger brothers.

If any of your readers has any information please e-mail us.

Many thanks.

Janet & Anthony Thornton,

Banbury.
