That and which

That was the only piece of information which he had wished to gather.

Can we use 'which' to connect in this manner, since we already begin the sentence with 'that'?
  

Top answer

Both which and that are correct pronouns in a restrictive relative clause like yours. Some people may want to use which because that begins the sentence. Some may not care about that and may want to use that because it's very common if only occurs in the main clause.
