We have a very faded photograph of Jenny's grandparents getting married, he was in uniform.

You can get his army records from London, normally on payment....The address you will fiond on the internet.

Hope this is of some use to you.

You might be interested in a report which appears on the Essex Police Museum website entitled "An American Tragedy" which covers one epic event in the history of Hillmans Airways.  There is of course a lot of other information regarding the company, but no doubt you have found that already.

I have just joined this forum and was looking around the site and stumbled on this thread which I have been reading with great interest on Edward Hillman and his family. I wondererd if anyone was able to pass on any more information on his life in Romford as well as anything about his coach and airline business, I understand that he may of lived in Main Road Romford....
