I would love the assistance of any brilliant Scots! I am not getting too far myself with this one. I am trying to piece together our family connection to a long held family bible signed by Dr. David Livingstone the explorer. Sabina Smith (b. Glasgow c.1847) emigrated to Australia in 1853 aged 16yrs, along with her elder sister Mary and brother Joseph. She was the daughter of Thomas Denham Smith (b. 1815 Yorkshire) and Mary Livingstone. (b.1818 Pollockshaws Lanarkr). I am only able to find the family as a unit in the 1841 Census - and this additionally lists Mary Livingstone's 2 sister's Margaret & Jane living with them. I am hoping to locate some information (Marriage/Death) that may tell me Mary's parents names so I can see perhaps how she may fit into the Livingstone tree - if at all. Thomas Denham Smith actually emigrated to Australia in 1853, leaving the family behind in Scotland. In 1856, in Melbourne, he re-marries an Elizabeth Fairhurst. He says he is a Widower from 1854. Family whispers said this was not true, so I would also truly like to discover if Mary Livingstone died in Scotland in 1854. All tips and information on the best way to uncover Mary is most gratefully appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
