I'm looking for my great grandmothers sister who went to Australia in the late 1950'5.all we know is that she went from Tilbury.

If she's still alive try whitepages to look up phone number and address

Ok on the National archives of australia which you can search as a guest
there is an
ANNE ELIZABETH VANN

SHE WENT TO SOUTH AUSTRALIA IN DEc 1957
Now there is no further info reaily avaibale but you can contact the archives and ask for the record to be added
could her children have come to australia before her

Hi K
I don't have full index facilities for Victoria, but a quick look online shows an Ann (or Annie) Vann may have died in Vctoria in about 1967.
somebody may help with more details, but search through here.

Do you mean that the children came to Aust. with her?

hi
i had a look at the vic death index to 1985
the one in 1967 was
57 year old
annie jean vann father robert
so doesnt look like her
regards jenn

There are a number of Vanns in the whitepages for South Australia, who could be descendants, assuming Annie Vann's children came here also. It would be very unlikely she came as an immigrant at her age, unless she already had family here. Why not write to some of the Vanns in the whitepages to see if they are related? Just Google 'whitepages Australia' and go from there.

thanks for the replies.
i have since found out that Annie went to Australia with her daughter but her son stayed in the UK.
Annie's daughter was Betty (Ann Elizabeth) Breeden(nee Vann) and her husband was Peter.Betty was born in 1936.
thanks again for all your help

Hi Karen,
Looks like my housekeeping has brought you back to this. Will move back to active board.
I can't see any record in SA (No death listed) apart from the immigration to Adelaide. Ann travelled alone.
Departed London 11 Nov 1957 aboard the STRATHMORE
VANN Ann E b 29 Dec 1898, single, Address in UK 43 Bloomhill Court Woodford. She was a Housewife. She had a UK passport, Country of last permanent residence England, planned permanant residence (of at least 12 months) in Australia
Cheers Kris :)

Hi,
although there does not seem to be a passage showing for Annie's daughter Betty, I can see a..
PETER BREEDEN born 1928 to Adelaide from Cardiff in 1957.
Possibly more details about this are available.
Annie's daughter was Betty (Ann Elizabeth) Breeden(nee Vann) and her husband was Peter CAROLINA
Sue

Hi
Here she is under a wrong spelling ;D
BREEDON, Ann born 1936 F in 1957 from London to Australia port Adelaide.
Sue
ADDING:
Also this which may be Peter on a seperate trip. Again the altered spelling
BREEDON, P. J. (male) born 1929. in 1950 from London to Australia ,Adelaide

thank you all so much :)
Annie's mother was Louisa but she had a sister called Nellie so that looks very promising.
i'll take a look at the White Pages and see if i can find any rellies,
thank you

A big thank you to eveyone that has helped me in my search for Annie.....i've just got the certificate from Australia and indeed it was the one tat Kris found.
Australian death certificates give so much information,even the crematorium name,
thank you all so much for your help ;D
