Hi Bee I would just like to say welcome to connect, though I can't help you on your quest I am sure that there will be someone who can.
If you can give a bit more info, like when your mother's birth year was so people will have an idea of the period of time.
Oh and another thing you shouldn't really post your e.mail address on here. If someone wants to get in touch with you they will send you a PM
Good Luck

Hi Bee, to Connect.
As Eejayess says, you would need to give us more info.,
such as your Mothers name and date of birth to help you.
Not sure if you are looking for Genealogical info. which is
what most people on here do, unless you get lucky and
someone knows this family from that area.
