« on: Tuesday 26 January 16 12:54 GMT (UK)  »
Still running into a blank can someone help me :
Nicol  Smith, the son of Nicholas Smith and Louisa Jones,  was born in Italy circa 1835 and arrived at Port Chalmers, N.Z. from Melbourne Australia  in 1861 . In January 1864 he married Mary Coleman at Dunedin He died 1894 in Port Chalmers
I'm trying to find his elusive parents and I don't know where to look as all the Italian sources say Smith is not Italian
Could he have been born on board a ship then was registered at some port ?? Where do i begin to look The smith's were involved in shipping right down the generations  thanks for any help this has been ongoing for years

Australia Lookups completed / George INMON Trial Record
« on: Monday 20 October 08 06:27 BST (UK)  »
Hello I find that George INMON was jailed in Darlinghurst jail in Sydney in 1887 for 21 years according to the entrance paper
Is there some way i could obtain a copy of any trial doc's?
Also the paper i received does not state a release date or if indeed if he could have died in jail It would be 1907-9 if he served the full sentence
as I cant find a death record for him in the bdm's [nsw] around that time
He was also jailed in Grafton jail some 10 years earlier for non payment of debt would there also be any records I have his insolvency record he spent 3 months in Grafton
I don't know what i would need to 'google' to find out any info
regards

Australia / INMON /INMAN
« on: Sunday 24 August 08 18:46 BST (UK)  »
Help! I cannot find George Inmon
According to his marriage cert his parents where Edward Inmon and Mary Wills I cant find a marr for these pair so they must have arrived from somewhere!
Also he states on that cert that he was born in 1844 in Campbelltown NSW
The only  George Inman I found  born in Campbelltown NSW in 1844 was to a Mary Inman and a George Bryant
I have tried to find a death in NSW and Qsld as he was living in the Grafton area when he married in 1865 to a Eva Alford
I do know he ran a store in Orara Clarence River at that time
Can anyone suggest my next try this is so frustrating
