We do not knowwhy James emigrated, but suspect it was because of limited e\conomic opportunity in Wales. Perhaps he was a coal mimer and the mine closed. Economic opportiunity was the principal reasonm emigrants went to Australia. America had adopted very stringent immigration quota, but Ausralia was anxious to attract European immigrants. The photo here was probanly taken about an year after they arrived in Australia, probably about 1928. We are not sure what occupation the father pursued in Australia or anything more about the children.
