Chris, when I wanted to trace my birthmother I contacted my local social services department who just happened to be part of Lincolnshire county council. A social worker came round my house to talk to me and to see, as he put it, whether I was stable enough to meet my mother. I gave them what information I had and I'm not sure how long it took but then he came back to see me with an envelope that was my file that he had acquired from Lincs county council archives department. I was able to keep the file and he was able to tell me where my birth mother was. Interestingly, she was still living in the same house that she had been living at the time I was born. He asked if I wanted to contact her direct or if he should do it on my behalf. I asked him to do it as I felt it might be too much of a shock for her if I rang directly. Sorry, that was a bit long winded but I think your first port of call may well be your local social services department. I hope this helps.
