Also their fathers so you could try and find them.

Hi Katie,
Have you any idea where your mum was born ? Was it Yorkshire or somewhere else ?

i have found details of your parents marriage

Bridlington 1st Qtr 1993 Vol 7 pg 83
Tina J Richards to Christopher A Wood

Try and get a copy of this marriage certificate then it will give you their fathers names (your grandfathers) and maybe you could trace them and see if they still keep intouch with your parents.

Hi Katie.
I have treated you like I would any other person and given you information like I would with any person. I expect you to use this in a grown up mature way. I hope you find your happiness.Please take into consideration that you do not always get the results or outcome that you want and to not be afraid of going to a support agency if you find things hard going.
I wish you the best of Luck.

Your Mum and dad only married 16 years ago, well after you were born, and after your middle sister come to that
