I am trying to locate a distant cousin of mine, by the name of Wendy Mclean (nee Stevens).The last address that I have for her is Ashville Road, Birkenhead.This is about 10 years old.Would anyone have time to check if she is still located there and if not if there was any forwarding address? I would really appreciate this.
