We've been looking for your mum for years. My dad was keith chapman who only on his last weeks gave us the names of his mum and dad. Lillian is his mum but he said james chapman was his dad. We're so keen to know how chapman has come about. He said he had a sister and one brother aaron. My brother and i have no other family so we're hoping to have the blanks filled in. PLEASE get in contact as any info would be gratefully appriciated. We look like lillian so im hoping your mum can fit the last piece of the puzzle for us. Thank you

Cheers Janette

Wow guys thank you!!! We have no clue how chapman comes in. All dad said was he had a sister and a brother aron, nt sure on his spelling that died in monte casino. Dad said his dad was james 'jimmy' chapman. Something happened because dad cut ties and never talked about them again. Was only in his last weeks that he gave us the we bit of info we've got. I can't thank you enough!!!
