A woman is pleading for any information on a former Eton resident she has identified as her long lost grandmother.
Carol Yeomans, 59, has been intensely researching her family tree online for the last few years but has hit a brick wall when trying to discover further information on her biological grandmother on her father's side, Lydia Maria Scarsbrook, née Perry.
The confusion and lack of solid knowledge about Mrs Scarsbrook stems from the fact that Carols's father, Terence Topliff, was fostered at the age of three and subsequently moved to Lincoln, losing contact with his mother as a result.
Carol, who now lives in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, said; "We have not been able to find anything online and we cannot get down to check the parish records either. We do not know if my father had other brothers and sisters. My Dad is now 86 years old and he says he would just like to see a picture of his mother as he has no idea what she even looks like. If the people who can provide him with it want nothing more to do with us, then that is OK."
Mrs Scarsbrook was married to Thomas Robert Charles Scarsbrook and she died at the age of 85 in 1989 and her address at the time of her death was 8 Tangier Court, Eton. These are the only details Carol and her father have about her.
Anyone who can provide Carol with any information regarding Mrs Scarsbrook can email her on cazyeo20@hotmail.co.uk.
