bazmanau Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 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.

mabel lily Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick650bsa Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hi, Similar story, arrived in Melbourne October 1968, for two years, £10 , not bad hey. Returned to Sheffield in July 1972 with a view to stay, couldn't settle down so phoned my old boss who had a job on hold for me for 9 months, I arrived back in March 1973. I was fortunate enough to have a job that took me to Germany for meetings on an annual basis, this allowed me to hop over to England to see my parents and friends. Life is great here in Melbourne, been to Perth, lovely place. Mick Lister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
