Hi Kaye Thanks for the response, Anthony SMART & Sarah (Nee STINCHCOMBE) SMART are definitely relations, I also have confirmed that they came on the James Baines in 1855 as unassisted immigrants (and a copy of the Argus reporting on the arrival). The name of infant with them was William Henry SMART he married Mary Anne HAY they had the following children William Henry, Isabel Maud, Albert George and Frederick Benjamin, Sarah Elizabeth and Florence SMART. The following data is from a secondary source but I believe the person is a researcher in England: Anthony SMART was born 8 May 1825, death 16 March 1896 in Burnie Tasmania Sarah STINCHCOMBE was born 3 February 1833, death Mt Hicks Tasmania (no date yet) father and mother of Anthony SMART William SMART born 8 June 1794 Mary CORNWALL father and mother of William SMART Nathaniel SMART born 27 January 1751 Alice MALLARD father and mother of Nathaniel SMART Nathaniel SMART born 1720 Mary SMART In relation to Henry SMART he seems to be a brother of Anthony SMART but I don`t have any details on him. In relation to Sarah STINCHCOMBE I actually have a picture of her when she was about 80 years old with all her children behind at Lower Mt Hicks Tasmania. I don't know when she died, But here parents were Benjamin (born 28 March 1802) and Mary STINCHCOMBE Their parents were John and Mary STINCHCOMBE.

I compile an index of GLS born people who arrived Australia pre 1888. I have an entry for Anthony, Sarah and an infant aged 1 arriving as unassisted immigrants to VIC per "James Baines" Oct 1855. I would be grateful for any info on Anthony's bapt and parents, Sarah's bapt and parents, her death, and what happened to the infant aged 1 who arrived with them - name? I also have an entry for Henry SMART aged 29 who arrived TAS as a Bounty emigrant 1857 "Great Tasmania" (Hobart TAS) - he arrived on the application of Anthony SMART. Do you know what happened to Henry - marriage? death? I would also appreciate a snail mail address so I can list you as a researcher for this family. I am sure you will get good help from the list.
