A Lincoln man needs your help as he tries to find his daughter, whom he hasn’t spoken to for 30 years.
Martin Hardwicke, 54, appealed for help in finding his biological daughter, Nicola Hayley Turner, via social media on Wednesday.
He has not seen his daughter since he split from Nicola’s mother Doreen 30 years ago, when Nicola was just six months old.
Martin has spent a number of years trying to track down his daughter, exploring all possible avenues, but to no avail.
He has searched through family trees and even considering going on The Jeremy Kyle Show before it was taken off the air in May 2019.

Current Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham
The government should give Greater Manchester’s mayor the power to introduce rent controls, according to several candidates vying for the role.
Labour’s Andy Burnham, Simon Lepori of the Liberal Democrats, and Melanie Horrocks from the Green Party have spoken in favour of an overhaul of the private rented sector.
This could mean restricting the amount of rent that landlords can charge, as well as banning ‘no-fault’ evictions where tenants can be evicted at short notice without good reason.
Rent regulation ended for most new lettings after 1989 but since then the size of the private rented sector – and the cost of renting – has increased significantly across the UK.
