Cavan / Sarah Smith - born abt 1831
« on: Tuesday 30 November 10 05:37 GMT (UK)  »
Sarah lists her father as Joseph Smith, Farmer, & mother as Esther Mehurtha.  I can't find that surname anywhere.
Family info says she came from Cavan, Ireland.  She married Samual Woodford in Sydney 5 July 1864, marking with x.  I believe she had a sister Esther who married Richard Brown in Sydney 1860, & maybe a brother Robert.
Looking for Smith/Mehurtha in Ireland & immigration to Sydney?
Has anybody seen them?

Cork / Sarah Smith
« on: Thursday 05 November 09 22:39 GMT (UK)  »
I am searching for Sarah Smith, who is documented Family Search as born 1831 Cavan Ireland, father Joseph Smith, Mother Esther Mehurtha.  That surname may be incorrect - maybe Mc?  She married Samuel Woodford 5 Jul 1864 Ashfield NSW giving her age as 26 which doesn't tally, and her usual residence as Petersham.  Bride signed with her mark. NSW Registry No. 01218. 
 An Aunt said she came from County Cork - maybe departed from there.
Anything there ring a bell with anybody?

Can't help with ancestors, Colin but your GG Aunt Elizabeth married my GG uncle Francis Woodford and I can help with plenty of Aussie descendants.
Thanks for the "James Pattison" history.

Thanks for the scrimshaw, Deb
You would think with "James Pattison" bring the WA governor 1834, 287 free female immigrants 1836 convicts 1830 and 1837 somewhere there must be a picture or a description of her rig!
