I am trying to find the family of Charles Thomas Kemp born 1883 in Greenwich London.
I know he emigrated to Sydney Australia around 1922.
He left England with his wife May Kemp born around1889 and his son Charles Douglas Kenneth Kemp who was born on 5th August 1919.

He did return to England but do not know when, but went back to Sydney Australia in 1960.

Does anyone have any information on where Charles family might be now.
Many thanks Georgina :-)

Dear LadyKira
All the above facts correct. Charles Douglas Kenneth Kemp was the son of Charles Thomas Kemp and May Kemp nee Meaking.
I have no other information on Charles Douglas Kenneth Kemp when he went to Australia in 1922.
Many thanks regards Georgina

I did not find their return to UK.
Why did he return to Australia alone?
Did they all return to UK?
Do we have May;s death?

May I suggest you amend the title of your thread to include Australia to draw the attention of Australian researchers.

Also remove the marked as answered or people will think the query is dealt with.
