Australia for health

[HansR]

Hi,

In my researches I encountered a few persons who migrated from England to Australia on account of health reasons (i.e. suffering from tuberculosis). I have tried to find literature on this subject but failed to find anything. Does anyone know an article or book dealing with this specific form of migration?

Thanks,
Hans

I dont know of any literature but one of my relatives went to NewZealand for his health but unfortunately died out there. I know this because i have family letters saying he was ill, had to leave his job because of ill health and had been living on south coast when rest of family were in London.
