The information I have is

he worked as a merchant seaman in Liverpool he died at the end of the war.
He had a Son called Thomas O'brien who was born approx 1928.
The son Thomas is my half brother who held me in his arms at Liverpool station in 1944-45 he was 16 years of age at this time.
My mothers name was Margaret Emma Foreman nee Nicholson.
My name is Terence Bryan Foreman and I was born with a twin sister also named Margaret who died 6 months after birth.
