The Lighter Side / Re: Immigrating and Returning Home

There are plenty of to-ings and fro-ings in my lot.
My aunt followed her prospective husband to New Zealand in 1953. The couple returned to the UK in 1957 and my cousin was born here. In 1967 they took the £10 trip to Australia, then went on from there to NZ. In the mid 70s the family returned to the UK.
I also have relatives in Nova Scotia. Several siblings emigrated with their families in the very early 20th century, and most headed back to the UK for visits before the Great War. Some visits were quite lengthy. One couple's fourth child was born on this side of the pond in 1910. Other siblings visited Canada after the Great War, and some even stayed there.
