Goldsmith, Samuel Thomas

[Emz86]

Hi everyone,

I've just started researching my family tree for my mums side of the family anyway my great grandfather Percival John Goldsmith's parents were Samuel Thomas Goldsmith b.Bungaree Vic 1872 d. Ballarat Vic 1936 and Eveline/Evelyn Roberta Goldsmith (nee Wilkie) b. Skip Vic 1879 d. Balliang Vic 1935 and I'm looking for any info on Percival (I can't find any) I have managed to trace my family back to James Goldsmith b. Brighton Sussex circa 1801 d. Brighton Sussex 1847, I know he was a whitesmith/tinsmith but I can't seem to find any info past this.

Could anyone please help me
