In 1952 my great-uncle and his family emigrated to NZ, assisted passage. His mother (my great-grandmother) was emigrating with the family, but wasn't eligible for assisted passage so she went by sea in style on her own, stopping off at various ports en route. She got in a taxi for a trip into town when they docked at Sydney and was immediately asked by the taxi driver which part of Lancashire she came from! Turned out he'd originally come from only a mile or two away from Granny's home street! Small world!
