After being given information after a media appeal on my abandonment, I am looking for my possible Half siblings Brian Davey and Helen and Sandra. as children they would have lived in possibly Hadleigh Southend on sea. Their father Mervyn unfortunately died in the 1970's. Their mothers name is Susan. If anyone can help me with any information I would be grateful. |

They were born before 1968 which is when I was born. i believe Brian is the oldest poss around 1956 and the sisters somewhere inbetween prob up to 1965. Mervyn Davey is the parent that we share. I believe he was half morrocean which would match previous DNA tests which put me at 20% North African! So it is a very promising lead! |

Have ordered certificates, but having trouble tracing Helen Davey born 1957 and Sandra Davey born 1959. I have been trying to trace possible marriages then trying to trace those people on 192 or facebook etc but with not much success! I guess its very difficult to trace women due to name changes. Any other hints or tips i could try? |

I receved birth certs for Mervyn which revealed his parents names Gladys Rose Davey (formally Jones) and Francis George Davey. I found a Francis Davey on members family trees who looked like a possible match. I contacted the other member on the offchance, and it turns out both of these people were her grandparents!! Therefore she is my cousin! I have messaged her back and am waiting eagerly to hear back from her again! |

Neither of his parents appears to be Moroccan at first glance: |

IFrom what I have been told Rose, Mervyn was the eldest child of Gladys but looked unlike any of his other siblings who were all blond! Even so he was very close to both Gladys and Francis and apparently proudly carried around a photo of himself standing between his mum and dad with all his his younger siblings in front! Apparently he stood out like a sore thumb! I appeared on This Morning Itv on November 18th last year and was in the centre spread of the daily mirror on the 16th November ( my birthday was on or around 17th November!) I am still on the daily mirror website under Michelle Rooney! Thanks for your interest |
