Tom and Georgina Codling

Mike Codling got in touch with us from Australia back in April.  He asked about Ada and Georgina Thurlow in a comment on their picture and then kindly sent these photos to us.  Tom and Georgina were his grandparents.  This is a picture of them with their daughter Isabel and elder son Thomas Raymond (Ray), Mike’s father.  In 1959 Ray Codling and his wife and three daughters emigrated to Australia and settled in Brisbane.  Mike was born there three years later.

Thanks to Mike Codling for the photo and information.
