Recent Obituaries
C-BERS notes, with sadness, the passing of the following ex-residents, former child migrants and/or family members. We extend our deepest sympathy to their families and friends on the loss of these valuable people.
 Mary Brandal (nee Humphreys)
In August 1937 a 15 year old girl was told to take her four year old brother to the Nun’s Home in Southampton. Their Mum had died giving birth to twins Terry and Eilleen. 47 years passed before that brother was to see her again, and many trips have been made to visit her since.
Australia is a long way from Norway where he found her but sadly she passed away in July.
Rest in peace Mary. Laurie and Terry Humphreys.
 John Mullen (Sep 1941 – 21 May 2002) (Castledare 1947 and Clontarf 1952)
John passed away peacefully after a battle with cancer. John and his wife Peggy had only recently returned from a trip to England and Ireland where John met his brother and a recently found half-brother. This was John’s last wish. John is sadly missed by his wife Peggy, daughter Johnese and son Robert.
