Dear K BlishenMy name is Janet Blishen from NZ. Phillip Blishen husband of Joyce and father of Anthony, Mark (deceased) and Christopher was living in New Zealand until about 1987 and then shifted to Australia. You may locate him by trying a search on the white pages in Australia. Alternatively you could post a message on the Blishen family Webpage by getting in touch with Neil Blishen. His email address is neil@dynox.co.uk. Hope this is some help to you. I met Janet Blishen (Mark's wife) in Auckland in about 1987, by losing my earring at the gym and posting a notice on the notice board.
Best Wishes
Janet

Hello K. Blishen
Having just come across this email dated 2002, I am sure by now you have heard from a Blishen somewhere in the world.
My name is Aubrey, my father was Robert Charles Aubrey (older brother of Phillip) I met (Uncle) Phill on several occasions, one upon his arrival in Canada after leaving Africa back in the 70"s. Phil's children, Anthony, Mark and Christopher stayed with my family in Vancouver B.C. in the 70's as were were all the same age. I remember them very fondly. Alas have never been in touch since but always hearing updates from family members.
Regards
Aubrey

If Philip is the person I strongly suspect him to be, he is one of the sons of my father's first marriage. In rough order of age they went Charles, Bernard, Hugh, Laurie, Philip, John and Peter. There were also two daughters, Molly and Joan.
Philip joined the RAOC (Royal Army Ordnance Corps) very young. I last saw him when I was a child in the Isle of Wight during WW II. He was then a young man. Charles and Bernard emigrated to Canada in the 30s and served in the Canadian forces during WW II.
Philip's father (and mine) was Henry Charles Adolphus Blishen
(Google under H C A) - 1890-1980 - himself one of four brothers one of whom was the father of Edward Blishen, the author whose autobiographical books contain much lightly disguised family history.
