Maybe a possibility (please note - could well be a different person) in 1977 - do you know Barry's middle name?

Barry Keith Jeffery
in the Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980
Name Barry Keith Jeffery
Electoral Date 1977
Electoral Place Kogarah, Barton, New South Wales, Australia
Residence Address 32 Edward St, Crltn 2218

This man is with a Winifred Ursula Jeffery, presumably his wife.

Where was the ‘reunion’ with the mother?

Welcome to the boards, Caroline.


Barry was born in 1944. (You can see his birth registration on FreeBMD)

I don't see a Jeffery/Birch birth in 1952.

There's a Steven M in 1951, and a Paul E in 1953, both in Doncaster.

Three children named Anthony Jeffery were born in 1952 - but none with mmn Birch.

There is no Anthony travelling with Barry and Michael in 1954.

I’m wondering if anyone can help me please.
My late father married a Lilian Birch in 1942 in Surrey.
Mr fathers name was Peter Dennis Jeffery
They had 2 sons Michael born in 1943 Barry born in 1945
The boys were sent to Australia as part of the child migration programme in 1954
I know they were pushed around various orphanages and were eventually reunited with their mother.
There is possibly another brother Anthony who was born in 1952
I have found some of my relatives in Australia but not my brothers
My father married my mother, they never told my sister and myself about the other children .
I had my suspicions as I found a piece of paper with the names Michael, Barry and Anthony.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thank you I in advance
