I wish to make contact with Ms. Joy Susan (nee Lilley) who was born in Colchester on 1st January, 1942. Her parents were: Mr. Robert Fred Lilley of Kings Lynn, and Ms. Hilda Emily (nee Hodgson) of Dunmow. Robert Fred went off to war and seemingly never saw his daughter, Joy. He subsequently remarried and went on to have four children, of which I am the youngest.
I would be thrilled to hear from anyone who can help me contact Joy and/or Hilda, or tell me more about them.
My email address is: gregoryd@absamail.co.za
