	Found this address on a site about Barnardos children sent to Canada and Australia. They may be able to point you in the right direction:- Contact details: Making Connections Barnardo’s Cottage 4 Tanners Lane Barkingside Essex, IG6 1QG Telephone:020 8498 7536 Fax:020 8498 7017 Email:makingconnections(the sign for at)barnardos.org.uk Change the bit in brackets for the usual 'at' sign. If you want to look at the whole site just Google....Barnardo children+Australia......and it's the first result. Kath. x
