Trying to find descendents of a distant cousin, Thomas William Hagon born 11/2/1909 in Limehouse London, son of Eliza Jane Hagon.

He was adopted by Eliza's sister Susannah and her husband Thomas Fordham, and was living with them in 1911 census. The family moved to Cold Norton, Essex, where Susannah and her husband eventually died.

On 27/5/1927 a T.Fordham, aged 18 from Cold Norton, sailed to Brisbane, Australia on the "Ormonde". In 1932, Thomas Fordham returned from Brisbane to London (no further details as I don't have Ancestry subscription), and on 29/3/1933 Thomas Fordham, aged 24 from Cold Norton, sailed again for Brisbane on the "Hobson's Bay". No trace of him in England after that, so presumably he settled in Australia.

I'd love to contact any descendents.
