Wendy Fagg. Hi Roz1. I am the adopted daughter of Albert Victor Fagg. I can give you many more details probably than you already have. I think my Step Brother Trevor Ricketts has been in touch with you but I can give you so much more if you want. Please let me know. I can tell you about Blanche Mabel known as May,where she lived,how she lived, can tell you about me I can tell you things about every one connected,Albert V Fagg was deported back to England in 48 or 49 from Geelong.Vic. Reasons I will tell if you require. They never did come back to England. I can tell you of her 1st Husband. Albert G Ricketts. I can tell you about her defacto Anthony Grant. A scouser merchant seaman who jumped ship in Melbourne. There are many things of interest. I have no way of writing you a letter and this is my only way of contacting you. I hope you still visit the forum. Cheers.

To Roz. Blanche never went back to England since migrating to Aussie in 1948. Albert Victor Fagg was deported not long after arriving Aussie. Blanche stayed on and took the Alias name of her new partner(never married) GRANT (Anthony)He jumped merchant UK navy ship date unknown. She never registered on the electoral role or any other roll not even Council as she rented all her life until buying a house in Regent Preston in the 60's, so as far as Australia knew she never existed except for her name being in the Ships Register book in 1948. Strathaird.She did work however and she would have had to obtain a Tax file No. from Australian taxation, prob under the name of Grant.Blanche Mabel or maybe just Blanch or May which was her nickname.I believe she had a sister Emma.I know nothing about her other than she was Born late 1910 or early 1911.(1911 Census) also a Brother Charles.Had adopted daughter born 1945. Adopted by her and Fagg.

No one in our family has ever heard of Blanche having a sister.Maybe she dies very young I do not know.

It turns out that my Auntie never came back to the UK

Blanche was buried as Blanche Grant in the MILDURA CEMETERY in 1987 .Mildura is on the Murray River(Border btwn Victoria and NSW. She never enlisted on any council or census rolls.Fagg was deported back to England in 1948-49.I believe he was a pedafile .(Don't know how to spell it.)I am the adopted daughter of Albert Victor Fagg.Wendy. I also was brought up as Wendy Grant.If you want to contact me I suggest you post here and I will make a contact available.I am 71 not getting any younger.I however would love to know what happened to Fagg(Peter) nickname..Have always wondered.

There are no online electoral rolls for South Australia for the period after 1949.

There were two notices in the 'Advertiser' newspaper (as Peter FAGG) and you can try asking the SA State library for a look up of the notices.

Otherwise you would need to go through Genealogy SA
