Marjorie Callear and son (from UK - 1950s) - where do we start to look?

[SiCallear]

Although Marjorie has died - the son born 1950 may not have in which case his name needs to be removed from your post to protect his privacy - as per RC rules

Removed - thanks!

Dennis Roderick Callear b 12.2.1909 died 5.12.1987 & left a will.  Might be worth downloading a copy to see if the son born 1950 is mentioned.  I strongly suspect he wasn’t Dennis’s son

Entry is shown in 1988 & only costs £1.50 (GBP) to download

You need to also remove his name from the subject header in each of your replies - as does those others who have replied

Wonder if this is the same Marjorie?
Callear   M   Mrs   14 Mar 1952   Fremantle   ORONSAY
(from Australia National Archives passenger index)

Fremantle is a port city in Western Australia (near Perth)

Oronsay appears to be a liner which there are records of travelling to Australia in the 1950s.

Wow and Oh!!!

The amount of information and the number of matches makes this a great fit - the curve ball is the reference to the US ........ ALTHOUGH this appears to be a visit which pre-dates the birth of their son. Note reference to "citizenship = no"

For info.

Freemantle was the port of arrival and Oronsay was the name of the ship. She was the only Callear listed on the passenger list for that voyage.

Are you sure about the age? there is a person of the same name easily found online who appears to be younger.
