Emigration to Australia 1952
« on: Friday 22 August 08 23:15 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone

From a certain site I have discovered that Walter H Ashton b.1919 and his wife Doris went from London to Melbourne in 1952. With them were their two sons who I won't name as I trust they are still alive. I wonder if some kind person with a subscription could look up the transcription for me to find out the date and which ship they sailed on. I do know that Walter and Doris sadly died in a car crash in their 70's in Australia.

Best wishes

You will often find folks who immigrated after WWII listed on the Australian Archives. These are free to search & a summary of finds is given. You can then pay to obtain more information from the records, if required. Your folks are listed with names and birth dates

Many thanks to Abiam & Trish - I have now found another son to this couple and have information to help me continue the search in Australia.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
