hello Linda,
Sorry, none of the names you mention appear in my family tree research.
My people were Stockwell and Ronayne, London, and Shorrocks and Barlow, of Manchester. An outside chance is William Smith, valet of London and his dau. Lily, who was my g. grandmother, (married Ronayne). I have not been able to find anything on them despite years of looking. The other family members' records I have found to 1800 and before.
I note some of your people came to Australia, perhaps they had the medal and let it go for whatever reason. I mention the Medlicotts because my father knew them well and sold a number of old and interesting things for them in the 1950s. The younger Mr. Medlicott was named Percy and his father was the Katoomba (NSW) coroner for some time and also a prominent pharmacist in the town in the early 1900s.
RE. Septimus from your post: Camden is about 60 miles from Katoomba, which is also 66 miles from Paddington, which is inner Sydney. A connection to Medlicott, through both being chemists, might be likely.
It's possible that my parents bought the medal from Medlicott or someone else and my mother put it with her mother's coins. I found it in 1968 after her death and had not known anything about it until then.
I am with Ancestry and will look around Aust. records.
Sorry to be so long, will press 'post' this time.
Bea.
Perhaps they were connected somehow to your people
