Name: Jos Ambrose Smith Death Place: Rutherglen, Victoria Age: 50 Father's Name: Smith Jno Mother's name: Mary Wright Registration Year: 1897 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1847 I can see two other SMITH men, with similar parents, except their mother is names as Margaret WRIGHT, rather than Mary WRIGHT. I wonder if they are brothers to your Joseph Ambrose SMITH??? Name: Jno Millar Smith Mother: Margt Wright Father: Jno Smith Birth: abt 1850 Death: 1941 - Mord, Victoria Name: Wm Wright Smith Mother: Margt Wright Father: Smith Jno Birth: abt 1839 Death: 1898 - West Melbourne The son of William Wright SMITH, Robert Gordon Wallace SMITH, died Dec 1894. His funeral notice is in The Argus, 20 December 1894. W. W. SMITH was living at 26 Adderley Street, West Melbourne. I used, "26 Adderley" to search on Trove digitized newspapers, and came up with the death on 15 Oct 1898 (The Australasian 22.10.1898) of William WRIGHT SMITH, who was the second son of the late John SMITH, biscuit manufacturer, Melbourne. The death notice for John Millar SMITH was printed in many papers, in July 1941. It states that he was a native of Scotland and arrived in Victoria in 1857. Not sure if these are related, to your SMITH. Mary Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
