Searching for information on my father Richard Diddams

My father was a pupil at CH from approx 1922 - 1929. He was born in 1911, but I am unsure when he first attended CH. He died when I was 18months old in 1965,and I have very little information about him, as all his family, apart from me, are also deceased.
Is there a way to find old records of students at CH from that time?
Thank you.

Welcome to the forum Caroline.
I suggest in the first instance you contact the museum.

I should also mention the School magazine called The Blue which might have had an obituary of your father possibly and perhaps mention of him during his schooldays too. I believe there is a complete set at the School, possibly in the museum.
There are posters on here who may be able to give you better advice.

I know next to nothing about Wests' Gifts etc but Diddams is a name shown on this website.

Someone else might be able to point you in the right direction to find out more.
