Merry Christmas to all. I am looking for a family of Smiths that came out to Australia on the Northampton from Co Meath and Dublin and Co Mayo. In 1880 Charles Smith / Alice Halligan I know that Alice died in 1920 at the Little sisters of the poor at Randwick nsw Australia. I am hoping that there could be some medical Records for Alice at this place were she died. Children . Mary born Kells Alice Born Kells Charles born Trim/ Elizabeth Trim/ Anne Trim died Trim/ Richard born and died Trim/ Catherine Trim/ Bridget born and died Trim/ James Trim/ Anne Trim/ Helena born Flora St. Newtown nsw Australia / Richard born Carlisle St. Leilchardt nsw Australia. My grand father William for some reason was born in Dublin about 1872/3 and that as far as I can trace this family. The Depositor that put up the money for this family was Arthur Lyons , after do some research on the BDM I have came up with a Arthur Lyons Marriage to a Mary Smith both from Ireland but no records of Mother and father for either one . Thanks Margaret Jordan Melbourne

Grahame It seems to me to be another attempt at union bashing, another attempt to belittle unionists trying to get a fair deal. Who sent the message that you received? Neville an ardent unionist.

Hi listers Would SKS with SA records please look for a marriage of Sarah Margaret STUBBS around 1870 or even a death perhaps a little later. Her maiden name was Bailey and she had been married to a Charles Stubbs. Although she married in Vic and had a number of children here, her death is not to be found. She was born in SA. Have tried the available records in Vic but to no avail. Thanks Elva

Hi listers, I am seeking more information on John Shipman Dawson who died at Grenfell NSW on July 23, 1900, buried at Grenfell. Son Albert was the informant. I know something of John's ancestry but nothing of his life in the area or his descendants. I am descended from his brother Henry Lincoln who lived in Parkes. >From BDMs I have ascertained he married Bridget Donaldson in 1864, at Young. Is there anyone in the local areas who is connected with, or who knows anything of this family? Regards Joan Scanned by PeNiCillin http://safe-t-net.pnc.com.au/
