Welcome Tony. I have a feeling you knew my relatives from Buck Street, my Nan, Mary Ann, my uncle, Johnny Ellis? He often spoke about a Tony Barlone who had some connection to Ice Cream? He also spoke of Mickey Brannigan and the Iomis'. Sadly he is no longer with us so I can't ask him

We lived in Lawrence just around the corner from Kyrle Hall
and used to play soccer in the street when it wasn't busy
I remember going to the dental clinic and having to inhale gas
before having a tooth removed, what an experience

hi violetmargaret
we lived in Lawrence St from about 1956 to june 1959, dad was in the navy during the war
and went to a lot of different countries and after the war wanted to take the family to Australia
so in 1959 we were able to emigrate to Australia
