Preview:My quest for my father's line started back in 1997 with a letter from my sister to the Thomas Comm Foundation in London. Dad was there as a child and had never really talked of his past other than the foster mother Elizabeth COLEGATE with whom he had been placed.
Following correspondence, we got mum's authority to allow disclosure of dad's file. He had died on 14 February 1975. The Foundation sent a wonderful letter giving details of dad's mum (our gran) Matilda Annie LILLYWHITE (born 20 June 1882 at Pounds, Billingshurst) and her circumstances.
