I would like to find Iona Jackson, born around 1950, who my parents fostered in Tunbridge Wells, Kent for a couple of years around 1965. She had a younger brother whose name I can't remember. She emigrated to Australia and was a fashion model, tall with long blonde hair. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful. |

I agree with Rose, no Iona Jacksons born about 1950. Would it be a bit unusual to foster a 15 year old back then - children's homes were much more the norm I would say? I'm no expert though! Just wondering about that birth year. |

There is an Iona born in Kent in 1961, if birth year 10 years out. |

Thanks Paul - that could be her. I'll have a look. I can't remember exactly when she was born - I was born in 1952 and she was a couple of years ahead of me at school. We fostered her because her parents had split up. Not sure where her brother went. Thanks everyone for looking, and sorry I didn't reply straight away - busy weekend! |

Yes, that's definitely her. But she married in Australia and I don't know her married name. I did try Facebook but didn't have any luck. |

Sorry, no. Possibly Kent, but they could have moved there from somewhere else. I wish now that I'd asked my Mum for more information before she died, but I'm not sure how much she knew herself. |

Actually I've just remembered that her brother went to Lancing College in Sussex - not that that proves anything about where they came from! |

You might want to add Australia to your title in case someone who know Australians records can help. |

Was she already a model when you fostered her? I wonder if her name was changed. |

No, she was about 15, but already model potential, tall, slim, blonde hair, and looked fantastic in whatever she wore! |

Nothing in the Australian Archives showing as a migrant arrival for her just using a search of the name Iona. |
