Hi Gillian,
This is Color Serjeant John, the father of Bernard Smith (long term PCC
Councillor and noted Catholic around town)
Born 2.1.1795, Bernard was born apparently in Srirling in 'about 1815'
and educated at the Monks School in Dublin
Cannot find a marriage for John and his wife Elizabeth Mary? Cherry?
Other children John b 1816, Mary? b 1816, Michael b 1821, Catherine b 1829,
Maria 1830 all before he arrived in Australia. Elizabeth was born in 1835 in
Perth.
This is an attempt to prove the birth of Mary )1st daughter). I have found 'A'
Mary Ann Smith - b 1817 (attached) and I have Mary's death Cert (attched) and
there is NOTHING to connect the two except a single reference in the Dict of WA
Biog.
It is also an attempt to find any reference to the rest of the family in any
records. I've done the Genes Reunited thing and got a 14 page army record which
has no personal stuff at all :(
It is all a puzzlement :)
regards, John
