Member Since: April 2012 Posts: 111 Send Message	Hi Im looking for Carol Pilkington born 1948/9 on behalf of a school friend. Who emigrated to Australia in the 1960s with her family. Thanks

	Just in case they were listed under immigration & naturalisation on the Australian National Archives web site, there is the following family. Unfortunately it doesn't give their DOB or when they travelled. PILKINGTON William, Elizabeth [nee xxx], Carol Ann, Jean, Margaret, Stephen, Dennis John [Migrant Selection Documents] Contents date range 1965 - 1965 Does your friend know if Carol had brothers? They might be easier to find as their surnames are unlikely to have changed. Australian privacy laws mean that recent B,M & D aren't available on line.

	Using the edited mmn, the children's births were registered Carol A 1949 Bolton (might have been born late 1948 & reg the following year) Jean 1950 Bolton Margaret 1952 Bolton Stephen 1957 Mansfield Dennis John 1963 Mansfield If we can't directly find Carol, we might be able to find a sibling, or even a relative who didn't emigrate. Feed back please?

	Posting in case its relevant Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980 Elizabeth Pilkington Gender: Female Electoral Year: 1977 Subdistrict: Bentley State: Western Australia District: Tangney Country: Australia Also a William Pilkington, bus driver. No other Pilkingtons at the address - Dennis & Stephen would have been too young. The girls could have married or moved away. Of course, it could be an entirely different family!

Member Since: April 2012 Posts: 111 Send Message	Thank you that sounds like the right one as Mansfield is where she went to school

Member Since: April 2012 Posts: 111 Send Message	Ive just been looking at marriages and births and Elizabeth Carr[which was the children's mothers maiden name] married a William Pilkington in 1945 so I'm sure that is the family. Not sure what to do next, any ideas. Thank you once again

	I think there may have been an older brother born in 1947 - Michael. He was registered Farnworth, which is within 3 miles of Bolton, and it looks like he didn't go with the family to Australia if Det's family is the right one.

Member Since: April 2012 Posts: 111 Send Message	Yes that could be another brother mothers maiden name is the same. Thankyou

	Try editing your title to include ‘in Australia’. Valerie, another GR member, is a dab hand at tracing our Australian relatives. The title will help to catch her eye. You could try Facebook & other social media sites? Or go back a generation in the hope of finding a cousin who has kept in touch.

	Hi Theresa (yes - here I am!) I notice a William Pilkington d 1991 age 69yrs at Cannington (Perth suburb) Also an Elizabeth Pilkington d 2014 age 89yrs at St James (same district). The 'West Australian State Library' (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service - they will check/trace electoral rolls for both Stephen (b1957) and Dennis (b1963). (we have compulsory voting here so they should appear on the rolls). ('White pages' no longer help... most of us have now 'gone mobile'!) Valerie Albany WAus

Member Since: April 2012 Posts: 111 Send Message	Thank you Valerie will ask my friend if she would like to do that. If you have any other ideas they would be much appreciated. I have a sister out in Sydney but dont think that she would be up for any detective work. Thanks again Theresa
