Mother and daughter Hannah Sheehan and Lydia Sheehan have been missing for eight days as police launch an urgent 999 appeal to help find the pair who vanished last week
Police have issued a desperate appeal after a mum and daughter have been missing for eight days.
Hannah Sheehan, 45, and her daughter, Lydia Sheehan, 14, vanished last week from the town of Pershore, in Worcestershire. They were last seen at around 10.30am on the morning of July 18 near Sheldon Close in Pershore and police have now urged anybody who has seen the mother and daughter to call 999.
West Mercia Police said it is believed Hannah and Lydia could have travelled to another area as they have links to several areas including Stratford, Leamington Spa, Redditch and Wellesbourne.

The Mirror has created the map in partnership with the Missing People charity and launched a ‘Missed campaign’ calling for better support and care for missing people and their loved ones.
Of the 170,000 people who go missing in the UK each year, some cases remain etched in our minds, while others fade too quickly from public attention, if they were ever known at all. Yet for the families and friends of those still missing, the need for answers and support never diminishes as hours, days, months, and years pass by.
This is why, in 2025, the Mirror is launching Missed . In partnership with Missing People, our mission is to bring awareness to every publicly listed missing person in the UK through our live, interactive map.
