Rosemary Hudson Search Request for Australia
« on: Saturday 31 March 18 18:31 BST (UK) »
Would someone be kind enough to have a look for Rosemary Hudson born in England circa 1918 to parents Ewan Ronald Henry Hudson and Muriel Helen Joan Hudson (nee Arnott), please?  I can only find her on the attached passenger list from 1920.  Thank you so much for any information you can share.

She appears to have been born in 1920 not 1918

Births Sep 1920   
Hudson    Rosemary J    Arnott    I. wight    2b   1235

I would therefore assume that she left the UK with her parents just after she was born.

This is interesting - Ewan remarries, so his first wife has either died or they separated. That could mean that if his wife remarried Rosemary may have taken her stepfather's name.

Ewan died in NSW, as perhaps you already know.

The death notice placed in Sydney Morning Herald October 21st 1971 makes no mention of a previous wife or child.

This is the edited version.
I can PM the complete version with all names if required.
