Thanks Jules Not really possible . . . Yet possible maybe James Edward SMITH (s/- Richard SMITH and Mary Bessie SMITH) married Gertrude Agnes SAUNDERS in 1916. Gertrude was a spinster aged 37 years. If she had any children, none of her family knew. None are listed on her death cert. (Does not mean that she did not have any!!) I thought the Edward James SMITH who died on 02Apr1951 was an elder man. He left his considerable estate (1,527 pounds) to his spinster sister - Henrietta May SMITH, who died a few months after him - 30Nov1951. His brother, Sydney George SMITH, then claimed the estate, based on his sister's will. There was nothing in the file to indicate the name of their parents. I was considering that if I found the death, I could confirm any linkage. I did find these births: 1901/C11486 Smith Sydney George Sydney Turpin Annie Hoffie 1903/C10273 Smith Edward James Sydney Turpin Annie Hoffie 1909/C12160 Smith Bert Andrew Sydney Turpin Annie Hoffie But I was hoping that the death would confirm it. However, my main hope is still to locate James Edward SMITH There is no record of his death so far - certainly not in the Cunnamulla area where he lived with Gertrude. Gertrude died in 11Nov1951 in Cunnamulla. The Qld Commonwealth electoral roll database 1934 (Qld FHS) lists Gertrude SMITH & James Thomas SMITH in Francis St, Cunnamulla - and James Edward SMITH at Grant's Slaughter Yard, Cunnamulla I do not know who James Thomas SMITH was, or if he was related, or even why Gertrude was not living at the same address of James Edward SMITH.
