My Welsh parents emigrated to Australia in 1951 with my two siblings after living in the greater London area for some years. I was born after. We children thank our parents for this wonderful life in Australia. We all had a good education, professional careers and bought our houses and land and live in states across Oz and have grandchildren, all leading enjoyable lives. I've visited Wales and wish to do so again but I could never live there. Australia is just too good !
This is my grandparents. My mother is Paula an my daughter Amber commented. My grandparents are no longer with us. Grandad died 1988 at the age of 78, my Nan passed away 2018 at the age of 99, my Uncle David's where abouts back in the late 70's is unknown and my Aunty Linda passed away 2012 aged 60. All the other siblings are alive. After Nans death we still have 4 living genetations. The living families reside in New South Wales and Queensland Australia. Happy to connect with others that may know or knew and are potentially related.

MV Flavia from Southampton to Sydney..five weeks at sea for a kid from Nottingham .. who had never had a holiday . within three weeks I was sailing thought the Panama Canal... I couldn't believe it... by myself and it was just magic... like a movie ..when I left home mom said your breakfast is on the stove and went out .. Never said Goodbye ... then after 53 years on my sister told me why .... Sorry MOM.... still here on the Gold Coast .. 55years now with two Aussie son n daughter living in London ....so much water under the Bridge....
Amber Hill Hi there. That is so wonderful to hear. I am so glad they have had beautiful lives and beautiful families in Australia. It’s a good life here :)
Me too as child....why did my parents come to this country. We were very well off in the Netherlands..beautiful home. Big mistake coming here to Australia. All those children, it would have been financially difficult even in those days. I admire their courage...i hope that they all did well.
This is my family, I watch it sometimes to remember my elders.
Hi Amber, thanks for your comment, are the people in the film your parents?
@@archifitvcymruwalesllgcitv9713 I'm the granddaughter and great granddaughter of those in the film

Remember it well that year ... British people always dressed ..well .. took pride in their appearance...
I did too William Brougham - went with my parents in '61 and came back 2 years later.
Me too as child....why did my parents come to this country.
We were very well off in the Netherlands..beautiful home.
Big mistake coming here to Australia.
All those children, it would have been financially difficult even in those days.
I admire their courage...i hope that they all did well.
How did they get on ?
They got on great, I am the granddaughter of Paula, the youngest daughter
Amber Hill
