Velma Allen
Has anyone ever heard from Velma Allen? She emigrated to Melbourne around 1956, at about 11 years old. She used to live in The Borough Arms on Cross Street. I would love to hear from her.

Re: Velma Allen
Most Family History Societies will have members who know how to access sailing records and have contacts in Australia who will help you. Try the Australian phone books on-line.PM me if you are interested in the Lancashsire FHSoc.
