Natalie, this is great news for Shane. But there is a chance he won't see your post.

Click on 'gibbons' on one of his posts above and you can send him a Private Message (PM). He will receive an email notification to alert him to your contact.

Good luck!

Hi,

Just found your post and wondered if you can help me. My dad is Linda Bowskill's brother (Michael's ex wife) and he has not heard from her since she went to Australia 45 years ago. The family have tried to trace her but have never been successful. All we know is that she and Michael divorced at some point. Any information that could lead to something would be gratefully received!

Thank you
Susannah
