Kent / Re: Eliza Cooper, double birth?
« on: Monday 25 July 11 11:07 BST (UK)  »
This is a long shot but I am also researching the Cooper family. Eliza Cooper was born in Australia to Thomas & Mary (nee Howlett) Cooper in 1847. All I know about Thomas is that he came from Kent. Does he fit into your family tree anywhere?   :)

Eliza Cooper married William Smith who maybe related to famous aviator, Charles Kingsford Smith (according to my mother). William Smith may be the son of Richard Sheppard Smith who was the grandfather of Charles Kingsford Smith.

I meant to mention that my g g grandfather was a William Charles Smith, born circa 1845-1847 in Australia. . I have yet to tie him into this Kingsford Smith family tree, but my mother assures me that Charles Kingsford Smith was related to her mother's family. William then is either adescendant of a brother of Richard Sheppard Smith or he was Richard's son.

 Hi
I don't know if I am on the right thread, but a Richard & Ann Smith from Deal and Boughton under Blean, Kent,  were the great grandparents of famous Australian aviator, Charles Kingsford Smith. Their son, Richard Sheppard Smith, was Charles' grandfather. He was a ship's captain who migrated to Australia. I thought that Richard's wife Ann was probably nee Sheppard. Is this the same family? Richard Sheppard Smith was born in 1817 and baptised in 1819. Other children from this marriage were born/baptised  in Boughton under Blean.
