SIR - My father was born Peter Whitby Taylor, at 11 Belle Vue, Manningham, on December 4, 1919.

He is regretfully dead now, so I am asking your readers for any information about the family of my grandmother, Helen Whitby Taylor, formerly Covington.

If anyone has any information at all, I would be so grateful. I know nothing of my father' side so this is a complete stab in the dark.

Many thanks in anticipation, Jessie Taylor, 3 Rookery Villas, Hartland Hill, Minsterworth, Gloucester, GL2 8JY
