Hi Paul Loobys brother! A decorator too (handy) lol x

I'm really pleased you did....so grateful...I have cousins everywhere!!! Hello Stuart's son !! Sent some pics to Trevor...more to come x

Hi Trevor hope your well. I went on gov sight and its documented a G. Simonite travelled on the Fairsky which departed from Southampton on Feb 14th 1968 under assisted passage migration scheme (how fascinating) putting the pieces together! I managed to take a few photos of mums album (nothing too exciting) but there are a couple of your nan. Could you possibly send me your email rather than post on the forum as there will be more to come. acclowes@hotmail.co.uk Angie x ---------- Post added 09-04-2015 at 18:07 ---------- Or just email me straight and I'll check it later x

May I say thank you for your kind words everyone. Hi Trevor I've just been speaking to my sister Patti and she chuckled about the lard and onions saying she remembers it well neither of us knew Gordon had a son!So we have another cousin??We chatted about dad going to the pictures as a boy in Sheffield and how they would stamp their feet in hobnail boots (when the baddie came on ) throwing monkey nuts at the screen!! I'm sure we'd be locked up now for that!!! Tomorrow I'll be going to mums and I'll let you know what photo's I find. Bye for now Angie x

Hi Trevor....Who's Gary? I'm Angie then there's Pat and Rons son Frank. I was told by mum that uncle Gordon's wife was poorly for a long time and died but we didnt know if Gordon is still alive... So hard to track some one down when Australia is so big. I wish I could have at least seen a photo of him mum said he was a nice chap. You know even though my dad met mum in Germany he never forgot where he came from and didn't quite lose the accent ! Erry up he'd say!! i may have one of Cyril I'd have to check with mum, if he had a handlebar moustache it may be him?? i have to sign off soon (early start) Thanks for your number and hopefully be in touch soon.

Hello just finished work ( mental health) Hi Trevor and say hi to I think it's your daughter. Angie here youngest daughter of Ron who sadly died over ten years ago. Mum is still alive at 86 although she does have falls now and then bless her. I have often thought of you guys and how dads side of the family are doing. Do we still have uncle Gordon? He did phone mum asking for Dad but that was a number of years ago now and we didn't have a number or his whereabouts in Oz. I believe you mum died some years ago too and your nan was called Annie too? Still have the photo's of them all at mums! Who would have thought by posting this I have actually managed to make contact with family wow!! X

Hi everybody this is a bit of a stab in the dark really. My dad was born in Sheffield 1927. His name was Ronald Simonite had a sister called Anne and a brother called Gordon. Dad went into the Sherwood Forresters and my uncle Gordon moved to Australia late 40's early 50's. Can anyone remember the surname or the family? Unfortunatly I don't know what address they lived at but I have a yearning to find my uncle as I no longer have my dad. I wasn't born when Gordon left for Australia. Can anyone help or give me some pointers please. Thankyou so much you lovely Yorkshire people.
