“I never thought I’d see him again.”

That’s what one client told us recently after we helped reconnect them with a childhood friend they hadn’t seen in over 30 years.

They had gone to school together, spent every day together growing up, and then life simply took them in different directions. Moves, jobs, families… and contact was lost.

Years later the question came back:

“I wonder what happened to him?”

With just a few details and memories to start from, our team at Relative Connections carried out a people tracing search and were able to locate him.

Not long after, they were back in touch and catching up on decades of life.

Moments like that are one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

If you’ve ever wondered what happened to someone from your past — a friend, a classmate, a colleague — it may be possible to find them again.

💬 If there’s someone you’ve always wondered about, who would it be?

🌼 Happy Mother’s Day 🌼

Today we’re celebrating the love, strength, and everyday magic that mums bring into the world.

To the mums who make life softer.
To the mums who hold families together in quiet, powerful ways.
To the mums learning, growing, laughing, and doing their best each day.
To the people who step into mothering roles with so much heart.

Today is about honouring the joy, the connection, and the moments that make motherhood meaningful.

We hope your day is filled with warmth, appreciation, and a little bit of well‑deserved rest.

From all of us at Relative Connections, Happy Mother’s Day 💛

Ever notice how searching for someone can feel like opening an old memory box?

You go in looking for one thing… and suddenly you’re knee‑deep in feelings you didn’t even label properly the first time around.

It’s messy. It’s human. It’s okay.

Can You Help Us Find Lorraine Bowden?

We are appealing for information to help trace Lorraine Bowden, who was born around 1960 and grew up in the Sussex area.
Lorraine worked as a nurse at Brighton Hospital during the 1980s, before moving to King’s College Hospital, London, in 1987.
We do not have confirmed information about her movements or circumstances after this time.

We are hoping to make contact with Lorraine herself, but we would also welcome hearing from anyone who may have known her or has any information about her whereabouts.

If you believe you are the person we are looking for, or if you have any information that may help, please get in touch.

You can contact us by phone on +44 (0) 113 2825900, via email at [email protected], or through Facebook Messenger.
Please state reference: 839850.

If you do not know Lorraine personally but live in Sussex or London, please help us by sharing this post with your family, friends, and colleagues.

Even a small detail from many years ago could make a real difference in helping us find her.

There’s a moment people don’t talk about much. It’s the moment they realise they’re finally ready to search for someone they’ve been thinking about for years.

It rarely arrives with a big event. It’s usually something small.

A birthday that feels heavier than usual.
A photo you find while clearing a drawer.
A question from your child you didn’t expect.
A quiet night where your mind wanders back to them… again.

Most people don’t pause because they don’t care. They pause because it feels emotional, uncertain, or overwhelming. And that’s completely normal.

But when that moment comes the moment you realise you do want answers it’s powerful. It’s the point where people stop wondering and start moving.

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. And when you’re ready to talk things through privately, we’re here.
