Hi,

I am trying to trace my Great Uncle, Brian Edwin Andrews (b 1937) who emigrated to Australia with his wife Irene and two sons, Peter (b. 1961) and Paul (b. 1964).

I googled them and found a date of 05.02.1969 for emigration to Canberra under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme.

My Grandad was Geoffrey Donald Andrews (b. 1933) and his older brother was Wilfred. Both of these have now passed away and I just have this missing piece of the puzzle as it were.

If anyone has any information that may help or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Emily

Thank you so much - we always wondered what happened to him and at least I now know he was still alive in 1980. And, I can try searching for him and his family.

Can't wait to tell my Mum now..... :-)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
