You need to contact your local Social Services Adoption Section. They will be able to point you in the right direction.

There is a Linda J. Owen mariage July/Aug/Sep 1981 in Southend-on-Sea, Essex to Andrew Cable.
Do you have any more info at all that might pin her or her family down to a particular area? Because your birth was registered in Colchester it does n't mean your mother lived there or even that you were born there, especially if your mother wanted to stay hidden at the time.
Unfortunately Linda Owen is a very common name and you might find it easier, if time consuming, to trawl through the records at ancestry to get some ideas and then the electoral rolls.
Good luck and best wishes in your search.
