NotesIn 1952, John Ryall, 7, arrived at Fremantle, Australia, in a group of children from the Nazareth House, Bishopston, Swansea, Wales, and en route to Christian Brothers Homes in Perth and Tardun, Australia.

John Ryall was 50 when he learnt his mother was alive.

He has needed therapy to help him deal with the anger and hurt of his childhood - and his mother's enduring rejection and guilt.

"All that time I thought she was dead," Mr Ryall said.

The reunion with his mother was a failure.

"The sad tale of that is I went back to see her, I saw her once and she never wanted to see me again," he said.

"A lot of anger, a lot of hurt, I've had to do a lot of therapy, I've had to do a lot of work on myself, because there's many a child migrant who have ended up with depression, (committed) suicide and alcoholism, drug use," Mr Ryall said.
