SUSAN BLOWER is trying to find a friend's birth mother.
She is hoping to find Jean Barrass, who later took on her mother's husband's name of Wilson. Her parents were Mary and Thomas H Wilson.
Ms Blower's friend was born in Chester-le-Street but was adopted and was brought up in Leeds.
Anyone who can help, can contact Ms Blower at susanpamela1@hotmail.com.
