We came from N.E England with our two children, Sally Elaine and Steven Barry, to find some sunshine and found the love and forgiveness of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. We added two more children, Tim Neil and Serena Ann to our family and greatly rejoice in our new homeland.

I remember the going away party for your parents held at our home in Wallsend. And I believe they visited Whitley Bay in 1961/2 and other relatives came to see them. I have a photograph sent to my parents from Oregon. I think my parents visited Lillian and family in Oregon in 1982. Her name and address has been in my address book since the early sixties and I note her passing.
I now live in Nova Scotia, since 1973. Our children are in Toronto and British Columbia. My wife has a relative in W Australia.
The family link goes back to the Curry family.
Best wishes to all, J Colin May
