Yvonne Grace New was b. 1928 to Albert Edward William Charles New and Elsie Yealland. She had sister Fay Doreen Elsie New b. 1926 who married James Francis Rogers in 1949. Albert New was born 26.7.1902 in Newbury, Berkshire England, came to Australia with his parents Charles Edmund & Elizabeth Mary New in 1912, and settled in Bankstown.
Albert Edward William Charles New died in 1979 at Coolangatta Q'ld, under an assumed name of Albert Edward Jeffrey, his marriage had fallen apart, his wife Elsie divorced him in 1950 with desertion. It has been a period of many years that we had been searching for Albert New, finally through Salvation Army Searching, we managed to find his daughter Fay Rogers living in Mandurah, Western Australia. We later found that Albert EWC New (Jeffrey) had a son born in Junee in 1946, Terrence (Terry) Jeffrey, whom would be half brother to Yvonne and Fay.
We believe that her sister Fay New moved to the United States, she had daughter Karen Francis Rogers b. 1951 was a Nurse, who died in 2018, her married name was Graunke. We believe that she died in Bahrain, as her husband David Alan Graunke died there in 2000. It could be however, that she returned to Australia after her husband's death, but died late last year. We just cannot find any family members at this stage.
Complicated family, just trying to fill all the gaps on what happened to this family.
