The above and children William (2yrs) and Charles arrived in Australia in June 1883 on the Scottish Wizard. Sarah was 28 & Samuel was 22. They were my great grand parents. Sarah's father was John Smiley. Sarah and Samual (son of John McBride)were married on 14th November, 1879 in the Presbyterian church, Ardstraw, County Tyrone. Samuel had a brother (I think) Charles, who married Anne Jane Smyley (Smiley?) (same parents) at that church on 27th May 1874. Residences for all is listed on the certificates as Milltown. My search up to here has gone dead. Would love to hear from anyone who feels they may be connected to this family or have information. Christmas day waiting for all to rise!! Merry Christmas!!!
