Do you know where William Hagland was based when he was driving on the East Coast Main Line, also the time period. I would expect him to have been based at King's Cross, Peterborough, or possibly Doncaster.

Hi all,

My research so far is mostly based in England - the north and gloucestershire.

I also have some relatives in Italy but research on this side of my family is proving harder to do.

Thanks

I live in Spain so it was only when I was given an English book to read that I KNEW my Dad had been sent to Australia under the now much discredited "child/juvenile migrant scheme".He died when I was young so didn`t have much time to learn about his time there,just knew he was there before returning & marrying my mother.He rarely spoke of it so it was a hard slog to research where he had been & what happened.The NA of Australia were so helpful also all the Ozzies I contacted but I was able to connect with 3 family members who had a father in his group so it was a great experience even if there are still big gaps  in my knowledge.He went with the Sally Army on S.S Vedic sailing on 31st Oct.1925 & I have the full transcript of that voyage including all the groups`names,ages place of birth etc.Anyone who wants more info.please contact me,by sharing it`s the only way to get details as the Sally Army will tell you all the records are destroyed.His brother was sent to Canada later under the same scheme & I am still putting together his story.

I am currently living in Australia - my researching at the moment is based in and around London, but I know that my line goes back to France.
My mothers side which I have only briefly started is London and Germany.
Since arriving in Australia I have since foound out that I have family in Australia too.
Also, many years back some of the family emigrated to America and Canada.
So I will be spreading myself out all over the world, but I am enjoying it immensly.

Currently most of mine seem to be from Lancashire, England, UK.  However I may have a new branch just discovered today that could take my search over to Canada.

My paternal family seems to have a strong history in Singapore as Eurasians. Information has not been easy to come by.
My grandmother died in India but I have very little information on this.
Finally the line immigrated to Australia.
