Sorry Ann, yes she is.

On the original image she is Veronica R Forrest and is a biochemist. She was going to a YWCA in London. Although living in Australia she's listed as British.

The only one I can see is one born 1929 and arriving from Brisbane in 1953.

Thank you MC........the puzzle is becoming a little clearer!

Could you check a Veronica Forrest for me if it is not too much trouble?

The only one with that exact birth year has middle names Anne Marie and mother is Andree Marie Forrest, coming from Jamaica and going to Army accommodation.

(Ancestry throws up loads of false matches to try to con you into subscribing!)

There's also a Linda Forrest b1951 arriving from New York in 1955, parents David and Ethel. They had been living Canada, he was in the army.

Don't put off until tomorrow doing what you can do today. If you like doing it today you can do it again tomorrow. Be kind to your children for it is they who will decide which care home you end up in.
