Thanks very much for the reply. I will try the 'phone number on Monday and let you know if I get anywhere.

My father never spoke about his time in care. I really wish I had asked him whilst I had the chance. These things start to become very important as we grow older ourselves and I would love to know what happened to him during these missing years. Thanks again for your trouble.

Hi Veronica now have a letter (via Munne) for a request for information,This letter was address to

Community Services,Redvers House ,Sheffield,postal code a little faint but it looks like S1 Z/2 It says the request will be looked into, may take a little time they have to protect the party's who don't want their info gave out ,Also on a different note M Dunn's book on Fullwood "For love of Children" can be obtain at W.H Smith as yet not read it suppose to be a little tongue in cheek but it might make interesting reading
