A WOMAN who was adopted as a baby is looking for help in tracing her birth parents. She believes they were originally from Batley or Dewsbury.
Sheila Tannahill has been searching for her parents –Andrea Margaret Stead and Jack Edward McGuire – for around 16 years and is hoping readers may have information to assist her.
Andrea, born February 6, 1946, was a presser in a laundry. Her parents were John Horace Anthony Stead and Freda Haigh.
Andrea was not married to Sheila’s father, Jack Edward McGuire, born January 5, 1933.
Sheila was born in Halifax General Hospital on May 16, 1963, and adopted through an agency in Ashton under Lyne six weeks later.
She was named Susan Ann Stead by Andrea, who was living with her grandmother Alice Haigh and her grandmother’s husband George Inman at 21 East Bath Street, Batley.
The last known whereabouts of Andrea was in Slough, Berkshire, in 1967, when she married Raymond Cyprian Udeh.
Jack had a son called Christopher Edward McGuire, born November 3, 1957. By 1964, Jack lived with his parents in Albert Street, although he was married to Judith Anne McGuire nee Spencer.
