He was a male nurse and I know he worked at Cov and Warwickshire Hospital in the 70s. He may have changed his name to Hill. Would appreciate any help. If he is still alive he would be in his nineties. |

Entitled “Coventry nurses say no to pay rise“ it says Derek Hill is in the picture so that must be him at the back.

I do believe it's your mother's first husband rather than your "real dad" ![]() |
