I have just been informed that I have a half sister from Bristol known as Gillian Blake. Not surprising you might say BUT, I am 60 years old in September and she is older than I am.

My name is James Michael Blake and I am the oldest of five brothers, all living in Scotland.

You can imagine my surprise when told of a sister I never knew existed and was wondering if she could get in touch if she or anyone who knows her is reading this.

As far as I am aware with the scanty information available, my sister was born in Fishponds and her father (mine as well) was James Blake.

I know this isn't much to go on but at present it is all the information I have, with a date of birth around 1942. I would really appreciate any help you could provide.

Please can you email me at jimblake@tiscali.co.uk or telephone 01875 823890.

James Blake,

Gorebridge.
