Albert Smith & Nellie Butcher
« on: Monday 19 May 08 04:28 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone, it's me again looking for more help with my wonderful Smiths!! 8) 8)

I am looking for some info on my great uncle and his family if possible.

I have so far

Albert Smith, born approx 1880 to William Henry Smith and Charlotte nee Golding, not sure if he was born in VIC or NSW

Albert married a Nellie Butcher, I am not sure when or where, but Nellie was from the Sea Lake area and they lived in Chillingollah Vic during WW1, so I assume they got married in Vic.

Albert and Nellie had 2 sons

Ron  who married Nancy ?  I believe Ron died in 1969, I assume in NSW but not sure
Ken who married Clare? Ken Lived in Leeton NSW for many years, his wife moved to Sydney after his death. 

Albert & Nellie lived at Condobolin NSW,  then Happy Valley, via Parkes.  Albert died at Parkes NSW.

I would love to find any info on Albert, Nellie or their boys.  I have no knowledge of them at all, except the above.  I have a letter written to the war office by Albert after his brothers death in WW1 and would love to know more about him. 

I would especially like to find Alberts birth, his marriage date, and his sons births.

I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.   

Thanks

Lones  :D

The only problem now Jenn is as soon as I try to open the door the CD starts to spin up :(

Lones this is the only Albert SMITH death I can find on NSW bdm with parents William and Charlotte...but it isn't at Parkes.

18052/1938     
SMITH      Albert Australia    
Father William
Mother Charlotte     
District HORNSBY

Is this him?  Could easily be two or more SMITH's with the same names ;D ;D

Cheers

Hi Cando & Jenn

Sorry for the late reply, I am at work and can only log on occasionally....

Thank you both for so much info, I now have second names for both boys, excellent.  What a great result.  I am very pleased with all this info.  I shall get the certs to get the exact dates. 

Cando I don't know, family story says he died in Parkes, but I have no proof of that, it could be him.  He definitely died somewhere, he is no longer with us :-\ :D.  Do you know where Hornsby is?

Thank you both again, brilliant!!

Lones 8) 8)

PS

Hi Jenn

 Our posts crossed.  Thank you.  I have most of the other children, though not the dates of their marraiges, just their names and partners.  Albert was the eldest so I thought I would start with him.  But if you've got lots of time ...................... ;) ;D ;D ;D (just kiddin')

Cheers

Hornsby is a Northern Suburb of Sydney - a little distant from Parkes - there is a large Adventist Hospital not too far away - that used to be a Sanatorium (I think). My Dad was in hospital there in the 1960s - or your man could have been visiting relatives or  ???
