My full name is clare amy hooley. I am looking for my mum. I haven't seen her for artond 17 years or so. so i can't even remember what she looks like.I have been living with my dad for the last 17 years. His name is Carl Trevor Hooley. I really want to find her. I was born on June 2nd 1990, yes it was my 18th birthday yesterday, and i've never recieved so much as a card for any of my birthdays. I am not expecting my mother to give me a big hug, or to tell me she's sorry, i am just curious about her, what type of person she is etc. If anyone knows her?!! all i know is her last assress was the one where she lived with me and my dad,on crumpsall road, i think. Before she took me to social services whilst my dad was at work.

What was her full name? age? where did she work? any information would be helpful.

I would have thought if it isnt too raw for him that your dad would be the best person to give you the most information :) Good luck chick

did you have any brothers or sisters?

Good luck with this clare xxx

i have already got as much as i can off him, but thanks for the advice.

Hi, Just wanted to wish all all the very best in your search.
It may be worth trying to search through phone books, electoral registers etc to see if she shows up. If it's possible she has re married check those registers too and I hate to say it but also look in the death records to make sure.
If you can't do that why not contact social services as they will make contact with her for you as they have access to lots of things we don't and in your case it could be the easiest option.
Also if you can talk to other family members and see what you can dig up, could be someone knows where she went.
It's interesting at times that people you don't think could help actually know quite a lot and if you go to social services they can be a great help but you may have to give them a push.
Please keep things updated and I really hope you find all you want and hopefully fill in the missing spaces.
I think it's good you are not expecting too much from your mum if you do find her but hope you get a pleasant surprise when do. If you don't try you will never know.
Keep an open mind and good luck.

Clare, I have sent you a pm (private message).

Hugh

Am PMing you some info

hi, thanks for that. I rang sheffield social services, they are sending me a form which; if i fill in, i may be able to access records for my mother. I told them my situation. they also suggested that i join the forum.

Clare have you read your private messages

yes i have just read them, and are very helpful thanks, however i would like to get in touch with her most recent husband as im sure he will know her whereabouts. i suppose i need his number somehow. I have tried 192 website and it has no address for Lindsey Price or any number. i am grateful for any more information, thanks

Hi Clare... yea I know that unfortunately all the ones on 192 (who I believe are people you need to talk to) are either ex directory or not on the phone... but as I said you can buy credits on 192 and select the ones who's info you want to gather.... at least that way you would get their addresses and could write... or visit depending on how brave you are !!

Or you could try another post, there are 4 or 5 names you could float here on the Forum ... perhaps another member will know one of them... possibly worth a try?

i stll have not had anylook, i have paid too much money already to find her, and still have no DEFINATE ADDRESS. please, ifyou can tell me any more. i don't want tolive the rest ofmy life not knowing her at all. its looking that way. i'm loosing hope, slowly but surely.

Clare i was adopted but My nateral mum never wanted me to be adopted, she is lovely person although her life has never been simple to give away a child or to leave a child is a heart breaking emotional part of her life. She will have never forgotten you but may believe it is best to have not been in your life at that time. I have learnt over many years how its effected her and our relationship now. You can never have the missing years back just the future ones.
I would say if they offer you counciling take it , as meeting your mum(a stranger) can envoke alot of highly charged emotions that you don't know how to deal with.
Donot pay out money you can get social services to use trace line or salvation army will help you. Good Luck

I'm afraid it's not going to happen overnight, clare.

It will take a bit of time, and you are going to have to be prepared to wait a bit, here and there, till the necessary pieces of information come in, and fit together.

Best of luck, anyway. Hope it goes well.

high, i spoke to Ross Bray not lond ago, but he has had no contact with my mother for 12years

hi, i got an address off 192.com, but Stephen does not live at the address anymore. i really need some more help, as i have done all i can.

Hi Guys,

as you can tell from Clare's posts she is really trying hard to locate her Mum. I have been trying to help but we cant seem to get past the point we are at. So have decided to post what I have found out to see if leads Clare anywhere.

Clare's mum was born Linsey Palmer in 1966

She married Christopher M Weathers in 1984
She then went on to Marry Clare's dad Carl Hooley in 1989
She then married Ross J Bray (aka Ross J Spooner) in 1995 (Clare has been in contact with Ross but it didn't help)
Using the name Spooner she then married Simon C Pendrill in 1997
following which she married Stephen Price in 2000......

Do any of these names mean anthing to anyone.... can we help Clare somemore??

Thankyou for that. i really appreciate it. I have an address, 283 derby road in sheffield, for lindsey Price, but i am not sure it is hers.

Go for it Clare ... Knock on the door and see if she is there !!!!

Thankyou for that. i really appreciate it. I have an address, 283 derby road in sheffield, for lindsey Price, but i am not sure it is hers.

Clare did you mention your mums Christian name or have I missed it somewhere.
Derby Road is in Heeley area you would be best calling to find out. At least you can eliminate or move on to the next stage depending on the outcome.

Thankyou for that. i really appreciate it. I have an address, 283 derby road in sheffield, for lindsey Price, but i am not sure it is hers.
