The Common Room / Book, Darby, Murrays Flats By Edith Medway
« on: Wednesday 05 July 23 09:05 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I'm not sure where to post this, but I'll give this a go.
I came across this book online, just wondering by chance if anyone knows how I might be able to get a copy. From what I have found the State and National library have copies but they are not near me.
Thankyou.

Hi JM,
Thankyou very much for your reply and your help with this. I wasn't sure if there would be any other info with these listings or just what was given.
I have seen the microfische at the library for a C smith naturalised 1867 but place of residence and age didn't match up.
Thanks again and any extra information you find would be much appreciated. I was thinking of going to Sydney one day to check out State archives etc but trying to work out how I go about that, where to go and gathering info before I go, as I'm not in Sydney. I am still fairly new to this and don't have that much time to spend on it.
Cheers.

Any help with any of the following would be fantastic:
Walter Samson & Co., New South Wales National Directory 1867 – 1868
Smith, C, Murray’s Flats (So if that is HIM, then perhaps he was a British Subject by 1867)
NSW Electoral Roll 1870 THE ARGYLE
Charles SMITH, leasehold, at Towrang, Murray’s Flats. (So if that is HIM, then he was a British Subject by 1870)
NSW Electoral Roll 1878 THE ARGYLE
Charles SMITH, leasehold at Towrang, Murray’s Flats.
Not sure where I find these to see if there is any more information.
Thanks.

Australia / Re: William James SMITH - Goulburn - Drowned in 1869 Aged 15 mths
« on: Sunday 19 February 12 11:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone,
Thankyou very much for your replies. This is my first time using this sight so I will have to try and work out the correct place to post.
I will have to look into some of that info given which is great, thankyou. Some of the info I have is:
I have their death certificates which confirms they were married in Goulburn.
Charles was born in Germany, had been in Aus for 27 yrs and died at Murrays Flats, aged 50, parents unknown.
Margaret was born in Parramatta, died age 44 in Goulburn, buried Murrays Flats but Parents listed as Thomas Davi(e)s and Mother Caroline Unknown surname.
I found a baptism record for Margaret Davis in St John, Parramatta, 1839, Mother Mary Davis, father not stated.
So not sure what is going on there and why it says Mary Geary on her marriage certificate, but she was only 15 at the time so thought maybe Mary Geary was a friend giving consent for her mother?
I did find a Charles Smith naturalised in 1867 but age and place of residence don't match up, so not sure if him.
Anyway, thanks again and I will keep searching.
Cheers.

Australia / William James SMITH - Goulburn - Drowned in 1869 Aged 15 mths
« on: Monday 13 February 12 23:37 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I'm trying to find out some more information about my ancestors child that drowned in 1869. I found the following article in the newspaper online but was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how to get the details of the inquest. I am hoping it will have some details of his parents.
The following is part of the article:
Child Drowned.-On Sunday last Dr Waugh held an inquest at Darby Murray's Flats on the body of a child named William James Smith, aged fifteen months, son Charles Smith, a German farmer living in the neighbourhood.
His mothers name was Margaret (nee Davis) They were married in Goulburn in 1854, if anyone has any further information about them that would be fantastic.
Thankyou
