Liz Deutsch was left under a hedge in Birmingham in 1965, when she was just six days old.

A woman who was abandoned in a shopping basket when she was six days old has said she will continue to trace her family history after a TV documentary uncovered new evidence of her past.

Liz Deutsch, from Ledbury in Herefordshire, was found in a shopping basket in Edgbaston, Birmingham, in 1965. The show identified her late mother through DNA and other evidence, and put her in touch with other relatives. Ms Deutsch said she had no regrets about the process, and hoped that others, including the students she works with, would take inspiration from her story."I had to navigate my own way from the age of 16 and want to leave that success as my legacy and I hope my positive attitude to life can be a benefit to our students."Both died without acknowledged children, but further circumstantial evidence led experts to judge that Muriel had been Ms Deutsch's mother.
