Travelling People / Re: Wells Family.
« on: Sunday 07 February 21 23:42 GMT (UK) »
My great-grandfather was a Wells from the New Forest. He was sent out to Australia as a ten year old by himself as part of their child migrant labour scheme. If anyone has stories about their relatives sons being taken away from them circa 1900- 1910, I would like to hear from them.

I am trying to find out information about the Wells family too. My great grandfather was sent out from the New Forest as a ten year old by himself to Australia as part of England’s child migrant scheme around 1910. His name was Reginald but my aunty said that was likely a name the authorities gave him. He was very musical and soft-spoken like my grandfather.
