A DARLINGTON resident is keen to get in touch with a long-lost friend of her late mother, whom her mother thought of as another daughter.

Pat de Hennessy (correct), daughter of the late Phyllis Bird, would like to contact her mother’s dear friend, Maureen – whose surname is not known.

Maureen lived in Stonecliffe Drive, off Coniscliffe Road, before moving to Cockerton.

Mrs de Hennessy recently appealed to Cockerton residents for information about Maureen, but has so far been unsuccessful.

Anyone who can help is asked to call Mrs de Hennessy on 01325-266241.
