BACK TO CONISBRO’

A former Conisbrough woman who emigrated to Australia nearly 30 years ago has returned to visit her parents in Conisbrough.

She is Mrs. Doris Wilkinson, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. Hornsby, of 3, Sheldon Avenue, Conisbrough.

When she went out to Australia in 1933 the then Miss Hornsby married a Bradford man, Mr. H. Wilkinson, who died in 1961.

Since her husband’s death Mrs. Wilkinson and her son John, aged 29, have carried on working the family fruit farm, which is now in John’s care during his mother’s trip “home”.

Mrs. Wilkinson also has a married daughter in Australia, and is four times a grandmother.
