Hello BIRZE.,(William)
My cousins lived in Birzebbuga If I remember correctly they also left Malta in 1951, now living in Melbourne Australia. I lived in Sliema. My maiden name was Born. My father's brother was a priest, Father Harry Winston Born.
Any one out there know of the Powell Family from BIRZEBBUGA, I WOULD GLADLY PASS ON YOUR MESSAGES and I am sure they would be very interested and happy to communicate with any one that knew them.
Regards
Marielouise
One of them was Willie Atkins. He was a diver. During WW2 and after he did a lot of work on sea salvage boats. He was a big man, very rugged. He had a brother that I know of. During 1992 I met him at Bbuga. Pretty Bay.
Thanks for the reply - Willie Atkins would have been my husband's great grandfather's brother. He had a brother - George who died in 1965 and a sister Netta. I don't know of any other brothers or sisters so do you think that it might be someone we don't know about?
Any info that you have would be really helpful. I'm sure that George Atkins was a poiliceman in Malta
