Dear Listers I am trying to find out any information about James SMITH and Esther COMODY (sic) who were married in Wollombi in 1857. They were witnesses to my husband’s great-grandparents, William MANN and Sarah LILLEY, marriage in Wollombi in 1862. I have no idea if they were friends of the couple or “professional” marriage witnesses. Any information about their lives may be the clue to finding out about Sarah LILLEY’s parents’ ancestry, convicts John LILLEY (Minerva 1824) and Catherine CARMODY (Pyramus 1836) who served out their time with George LODER in the Patrick Plains area. Here’s hoping for any little snippet of information. Wendy Lindsay Mackay, Qld
