I AM trying to find any trace of my mother's birth family or relatives who may live in Lancashire in or around the Clitheroe area.

My mother was born on April 24, 1928 or 1929. Her name was Lillias, but I am not sure if this was her birth name.

I believe her birth surname was Clancy and that they lived in Clitheroe or the surrounding area.

My mother's father was killed in an accident when he fell off a ladder - when or where I have no idea.

What happened to my mother after this is not known, but she was eventually adopted by a family named Drury who lived in Chelmsford, Essex.

I am hoping someone somewhere may recall some of these details.

So far I have drawn a blank on all the searches I have made.

I realise this information is very scant, but it is the sum total of information I have to go on.

Any help or information would be thankfully received.
