Hi I am trying to find my Aunt(my Dad's sister) and her family, formerly living in Gorton but I think may have moved down South but if anyone has information I would dearly love to trace my family. Uncle Ken lives in Brighton and I hope to return to England in a few weeks to meet him for the first time! My father died when I was 8 and I have never met ANY of his family as I was unaware there were any surviving family when I was growing up 
I know that Joan has a son called Hugh.
Article appearing in The Manchester Evening News newspaper about 1987?
'Together again after 30 years! Ken Dutton gives his sister Joan a brotherly hug and they both have to fight back the tears.
Our Cameraman captured the emotion packed magic moment last week when Ken and Joan were re-united in a London hotel.
It marked yet another success for our now famous 'Loved and Lost' series.
Ken, 52, who lives and works in Brighton, is happily married with a grown up family but there was an ache in his heart.
Only his sister, now Mrs Joan McGill, of Gorton, Manchester, could cure that.
But try as he did for years on end, without our help he couldn't find her.
The Dutton family broke up when they were children and during the war Ken and Joan were both at an orphanage school in Purley, Surrey.
Joan left in 1950, two years after Ken, to train as a Nursery teacher. She and Ken met again in Manchester in 1955, but then he moved South and they lost contact.
Said Ken: "its wonderful. a great emptiness in my life has been filled." '
(is quoting article ok?)
many thanks folks
