Hi
A bit off our patch!
There is this birth reg on FreeBMD:
Births Mar 1914
COLLIER Thomas Collier Kington 6a 898
Mother's Maiden Name also Collier so likely to be illegitimate I'm afraid.
You can purchase a copy of the Birth Certificate from the GRO:
http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
They cost £9.25 and usually arrive within 7 days.

Hi,
just to echo all that Chris says. Only had a quick look but I cannot see any relevant records at all on this site's PRs ?
I did wonder if this was his parent's marriage, also off FreeBMD, altho as Chris says maybe not given Collier mother's name ??

Need to try and find out where these people go and who married who?. However I wonder if you've already been down this route judging by your post ?
How do you know he was orphaned, no more clues at all there presumably ?.
Unfortunately none of these names are at all uncommmon, so..
?????
Have you tried the Herefordshire Archives / Record Office ?
