NotesOn December 5 1912, Albert Wilkins, 8, departed for Australia on board the Australind. He was placed at Fairbridge Farm School, Pinjarra, Western Australia.

'Albert Wilkins was born on May 13, 1904, at 53 Coleman Road, Belvedere, Erith, Kent, England, the son of Henry Lloyd and Eileen Sinnott. The 1911 census for England and Wales shows that Albert was in a Children’s Home in Clifton, Bristol, England at the time it was taken. He was 7 years of age and one of only 15 children in this
particular dwelling, which appears to be a small private orphanage.

After having various farm jobs in the wheatbelt, he gained employment as a Station Hand with a mining operation, a job he worked for many years. After suffering an accident, he went to work in a glass bottle factory.

Albert died in Perth on March 8, 1979 at the age of 74, and his ashes were scattered to the wind. His widow, Dorothy Vera, passed away at the age of ninety two on July 21, 2005.'
