A THORNBURY resident is appealing for help after she misplaced her 85-year-old mother's birth certificate.

Julie Allsopp had taken the certificate to Thornbury Library to renew her mother's disabled badge, but believes that she dropped it on the way back to her car.

She said: "I think I misplaced it somewhere between the library and Aldi car park.

"I've looked all over for it and have been into shops nearby, but no one has handed it in."

The birth certificate is described as yellow and is likely to have been folded into a square.

If you have picked up the birth certificate, call Julie on 01454 281301.
