Hi, im searching on behalf of a friend for an ex-pat who emigrated in the early sixties.

A Mr Ernest Brady - he was originally from Sheffield.

Its possible he's not with us anymore but in case he is he would be around 66-70 years of age now.

I believe he was a car mechanic or similar working for Ford before he went over there.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Simon

It'd help if you had a clue about which state he originally went to - although of course he could have moved several times since then. Then your next best bet would be the White Pages or possibly Facebook in case he has children/grandchildren with the same surname

Hi, I have a bit more information ...

He lived in Summer Hill, Sydney, NSW.

He married the daughter of a successful TV salesman who would have had stores throughout Sydney at the time, unfortunatley I cannot find out the name of his wife or the TV business.

Sounds like a project for Agent 006.5!!!

Sorry, one of the migration agents here works from Summer Hill, NSW

I found a long-lost friend through FaceBook after more than 20 years, so it's always worth trying

Lets hope theyre looking on this thread!

Fingers crossed!

Sounds like the Brady bunch moved to Oz at some point.

I would send the Original Poster a PM or email via BE as the original post is quite old and they won't be checking BE most likely.

They will get an email however.

Good luck guys!
