A MAN from Essex who is due to celebrate his 30th birthday has called on the Barrow public's help in tracing his biological father.
Patick McNeil contacted the Evening Mail after gathering information which reveals his biological father is a man called Gary McNeil from Barrow.
Patick - which he spells without an 'r', hopes the public can help to put him in touch.
He said: "I would very much like to get in contact with him. I'm about to have my 30th birthday and would like to put a close to the mystery of what happened in my childhood."
Anyone who is able to help is asked to email Patick on patickmcneil87@gmail.com
