I think this will be a iongshot.
As a boy I used to play with Kieth Turton
His family emigrated to Australia in 1956-1960?
He previously lived at Stamper Crescent Skegby, near Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire.
Sorry that's all I can remember.
Best wishes

Hi Mosh,
Now just for your interest and to help you confirm or otherwise that this is your Keith, here are the possible births of the parents from freebmd .
Chisnall, Edna. Mother Topping. June 1/4 1921. vol 8c pg 336 Warrington
Turton, Jack Mother Burgess Sept 1/4 1920. vol 8c, pg 309. Warrington.
Now, I am not good at the Counties, but is Warrington close to Nottinghamshire where you knew Keith?
ADDING: There is a birth for a Ronald Turton in Nottingham in 1918
Turton, Ronald. Mother Chambers. June 1/4 1918. Nottingham. 7b pg 501
And this is the best I can see for Cynthia
WildE Cynthia. Mother WildE Sept 1/4 1920 New Forest. 2b, 1438
It may sit with cando's 1961 finding.

I think Kieth Turton was born around 1946/1947
I am going to contact my sister tomorrow,to see if she can remember the names of his siblings.
Thanks for your help

Hi Mosh
I believe the Keith Turton you are looking for is my uncle. He migrated with his family March 28 1961 and he was from Sutton-in-Ashfield :) If you are still keen to catch up with him, please respond with your information and I will be stoked to pass it on to him.
Cheers
Jacquie
