The Midgen Family (Fred, Joyce), Carol, Susan, Stephen and Shirley of London, England set sail from Southampton on the SS Fairsky in 1959, with a suitcase each and their possessions in three tea chests. Fred having visited Australia during WWII, realised that Australia offered greater opportunities for his four young children.
