1. Re: [WarBrides] Re: Calling all August of '44 Acquitania war brides. [1]
Gee, I hope I didn't give that impression. My Mom was very happy to have come to Canada and very much in love with my Dad right up to his death. I think she meant that perhaps a lot of 'girls' were naive about the dangers of crossing the ocean in war time, coming to a land and family that they did not know and, in many cases, with infants in tow. I think that youth and love help to overcome those sort of obstacles. That is what my mom meant and definitely she always thought that she had made the right choi
2. [WarBrides] Warbrides 1945 [1]
Greetings Are there any Warbrides from England who came to New Zealand in 1945 and embarked in Wellington in August 1945, came via Panama on board a troopship. I would be interested to hear from anyone in regards to this as I came as a babe with my Mother during this period. I'm interested in which ships you would have sailed on Kind regards Wendy NZ

My mother, Phyllis Burrows, also came to Canada in advance of my father who was still overseas. She came to Chatham, Ontario to my late grandparents in March of 1944, travelling with me on the troopship, "Andes".

For those warbrides living in the Greater Toronto area, you may be interested in attending a performance of my one-woman play called "English Rose - The Story of a Warbride". There will be other warbrides at the show and it may be a good opportunity to make some contacts, reminisce, etc. The play is on at the Assembly Hall at Kipling and Lakeshore in Etobicoke: Friday November 8 at 8:00pm Saturday November 9, at 2:00 pm Saturday November 9 at 8:00 pm Sunday November 10 at 2:00 pm Box Office: 416 622 8731 T

Dear Hazel and all others who have sent emails, from all over the world, about the Tank Teapot. First of all, I'm not surprised at how many of you collect teapots; it's a very popular subject. But I am amazed at how many teapots you've all managed to collect. Hazel was quite right in assuming that 'Ole Bill' was a cartoon figure. The cartoonist was Bruce Bairnsfather who drew a figure of a soldier in the trenches of WW1, which was published in the newspaper. Poor 'Ole Bill' was always cold, and he w

9. [WarBrides] Help a War Bride to Remember [1]
Hello, Group. We have just joined a war brides group over on the coast. Up until this year, we did not even know there was an organization of war brides. Mum has always felt somewhat "alone" here. She has only known of a couple of war brides in our area in all the 50+ years we've lived in this part of the country. I think it helps her to be able to talk to others who went through the same "ordeals". Actually, when Mum talks to other war brides, I learn more--things she never thought to tell me. Being aro

Re my e-mail about the documentary shown on TV. Sheila seeing it in Alaska - shows how far spread we are and what a common heritage we all share. Grace: That is the title. Beth: Pyrex plates - maybe I am incorrect in my assumption that it was Pyrex - it could have been a glass serving dish not a baking dish. Don't give up on David your Dad, there is more information coming to light all the time because of the burgeoning interest throughout the world in genealogy. You need to write to some of those groups. I
12. Re: [WarBrides] Warbrides 1945 [1]
There must have been many who had lived charmed lives prior to marrying and immigrating abroad. Again, testimony to the character that war brides seemed to possess. I wonder how many of them suffered in silence? and was it the British 'Chin up and Tally Ho!' mentality that helped them to overcome all obstacles? Again, another poignant story. Thanks Wendy Cheers Lynn
13. [WarBrides] British Passenger Lists - Including WarBrides [1]
I wrote this guide some years ago for my own teaching purposes and it is now used by various archives around the world. You may find it helpful should you decide to obtain your own departure records. It's a general guide, but the Warbrides lists are all included in this series. These lists are NOT filmed! They can only be seen at the Public Record Office in Kew, England. They are very time consuming to search, there are no indexes of any kind at Kew and no official 'passenger finding aids' exist. British

She said there was going to be a big reunion for war babies and GI brides, and she wanted to have my mailing address so she could send me the forms and information. I gave her my address and haven't heard a word back from her. Also she is not answering my e-mails. I'm now think she was someone just out to get mailing addresses for her own purpose.

21. Re: [WarBrides] Warbrides [1]
Pat, The Victoria War Brides Association published a wonderful collection of stories. In it, I read of many brides who were met by their husbands in civilian clothing, in sometimes remote communities, and wondered where the soldier they had married had gone. Where your grandparents good to your Mom? I have also heard stories of families not really accepting the new bride and making the transition even more horrific. Cheers Lynn
22. Re: [WarBrides] "1940s House" on PBS TV last night. [1]
I don't know if you were able to see them on the show, but my company - Racing Teapots - supplied some of the teapots for the house. The 1940s House was then showed, to popular acclaim, at the Imperial War Museum in London. The house was shown here in England, once a week, as a 30 minute show and was the sequel to the Victorian House. We make the 'Old Bill' Tank Teapot which, as you can guess by the name, was a teapot in the shape of a tank. The head of the 'tank commander' forms the basis for the li

How lovely! Yes, I too remember being amazed that my friends knew that my Mom was from England. I think 'garage' gave her away every time! Was your Dad Canadian? My Mother returned to England for the first time in 1963... Imagine being separated from family for such a long time. If I close my eyes, I can still see those Aerogrammes and the delicate way in which she would open each one. Indeed, it was a long way to Tipperary! Cheers Lynn

My Mom came over on the Aquitania in the Fall of '44. My brother (who was 1 1/2 years at the time) wrote this: "Sorry, I do not remember much about the trip over the Atlantic. Mom always told me we came in August 1944 and arrived in Halifax towards the end of the month and then proceeded by train to Montreal. She said that her most vivid first impression of Canada was standing on the deck of the Aquitania and seeing all the lights of the city at night after five years of blackout in London.
