Recommended Posts

Hi, I was born in Sheffield, ( Meersbrook ), and sailed for Melbourne in 1964. My wife and I visit W.A. frequently, as eldest daughter and family live in Woodridge. We have 3 teenage grandkids there, and look forward so much to our visits. My name is Ed Harvey, and I went to Carfield Primary, then High Storrs, then worked at Jos.Pickering & Sons before migrating at age 21. Love it here. Regards to all Forumers.

We moved from Hyde Park to Melbourne in 1968 and then 2 years later Dads brother and his family came out. They later moved to Perth and virtually disappeared. What I'm asking is directed at the people living in Perth if they know the where about's or knowledge of Ron Simpson? I believe they lived in Scarborough at one stage. The Simpsons names are Ron, Irene, Valarie, Alan, Leslie and Howard. Please PM me if you should know of anything.

I knew a family that emigrated in the 1960's to Oz, not sure if it was perth or not but I would love to know what happened to them. Their name was Riley and they lived at Stannington, I think Kath was the 1st to go followed by her sister Linda and then Maureen, Maureen did come back and lived at malin bridge I believe, I dont know what happened to her after that. I am just curious to know if they all made a life out there or if they ever returned to Sheffield.
