Read their story

Mum & Dad were married by proxy. My father's brother took his place as groom in Italy, then they were both remarried (to each other) at St. Brigids Church, West Perth on the 25th April 1955. Mum arrived in Australia 4 years after Dad, in 1955 on the Neptunia.

  • Any relation to the Allia family from Catania Sicily? That is where my family came from.
