    1. Re: [ENG-DURHAM] Best family
    2. Hi Lesley I am looking for anyone related to Ethel Mary Best who was my husband's biological grandmother. Her death cert states that she was born on 19th November 1916 in Cockfield, Bishop Auckland but I know this to be incorrect, as the GRO could not find her.. Her sister was the "informant" on the death cert, who for reasons of protecting Ethel told some porkies...! It's quite a sad story really, Ethel had a baby out of wedlock who was subsequently adopted ... (my husband is Ethel's grandson) and very few people knew about the birth. I believe that everyone involved at the time has passed away now and it is my dearest hope not to offend anyone by poking around. I hope everyone may understand my husband's need to find some blood relatives, as he has no blood family that he knows about. Lindsay
