Investigators believe the trio arrived at Alicante, on the Costa Blanca, at 9.35pm on August 24 – although there has been no reported sighting of the family.
Officers are treating it as a missing child case and are desperately hunting Gibson and Rogers on suspicion of abducting the young girl.

‘We are working closely with our law enforcement and child protection partners in Spain in a bid to bring Gracie-May home safely.
‘We are appealing to anyone who sees the family or who has information on where they may be to get in touch as a matter of urgency.’
Detective Inspector Andy Ellis said: ‘We are growing increasingly concerned, especially for the welfare of Gracie-May and Kelly Gibson, and we would appeal to anyone who sees the three of them together or separately to get in touch urgently.
‘The last information we have is that the family landed in Alicante on Tuesday evening but as there have been no confirmed sightings since then it is possible that they have moved on.
‘We appreciate that this incident may cause concern for some people but we are working closely with our partners in the Spanish Police and our overriding priority is the safe return of this young child.’
Anyone with information is urged to call Lancashire Police on 101 quoting log 0621 of August 25.
