Searching for any family in Australia of Leslie Arthur Worth.Leslie was sent out from England to Australia (Fairbridge Farm School, Molong)in 1952. His sister Pamela, now in her late seventies,remained in England and would dearly like to contact any of Leslie`s children/grandchildren. Leslie died in 1973 and Pamela lost all contact with the family. If anyone has any information about the family or can suggest how to go about finding them, please contact me at margwilks@hotmail.com Thank you.

I am currently researching U.K Child Migration schemes to Australia for a novel I am writing.I am particularly interested in hearing from any females who were sent to Adelaide as a child, either to the Magill Methodist Children's Home, or the Sister's of Mercy Orphanage at Goodwood. If anyone is interested in sharing their experience, then and now, please email me at cathoff3@hotmail.com Kind regards to you all Catherine

I am a former child migrant sent to NZ 1952. I did receive a good adoptive life there; but never the less was shattered from my birth mother... I now live back in my old birth town in England. My story is reconciled.I wish to thank all the new & past message contributors for your kind goodwill remarks of our historic social subject. Tony: Anthony Chambers.
