Natalie Brownlie from Queensland Australia writes -
My father Peter N Poole was evacuated to Kilmarnock
during World War 2 from Newcastle on Tyne as a small child, along with his
sister Nora. They were fortunate to live during that time with his Uncle &
Aunt - his Uncle at that time was Provost - his surname was Carney. They
lived at 1 Howard Street.
My father returned to Newcastle on Tyne after the War
& at the age of eighteen emigrated to Australia. Dad has lived an
interesting life working as a stockman on Kangaroo Island for Sir William
McBride before joining the Rodeo Circuit & becoming a professional Rodeo
Cowboy & both an Australian & Queensland Champion Steer Wrestler. He is
now the Official Historian of the Australian Professional Rodeo Association.
Dad speaks fondly of his time at Kilmarnock - I
was wondering if you have any information on his Uncle & any images from
around the time of World War 2 that I could show him?
