Hello everyone

[castbury]

Hello, my name is Carol. I live in Darlington, Western Australia. I am writing a family history to pass on to my children and grandchildren. When I was a young bride, travelling to Australia from England was a huge adventure, I thought little of the fact that I would leave behind more than friends and family. My entire family has now "disappeared" from Hereford. Neither of my sibblings had children, my father and mother followed me to live in Australia. My father is deceased and my mother has returned to live in UK, but has chosen to live in the Isle of Wight. As you can imagine, researching has been difficult - with only my mother's verbal history of the family to rely on. So I am very glad to have found this page, and hope that I will be able to find some people to connect with who may be able to let a little light into my research.
Regards
Carol
