HI All,  
Ta Kiwihalfpint,  for your good wishes.
Ta kansar, that's the closest I have ever got to see his middle name - first time I know he used it was in 1886.
Ta Spidermonkey, could you let me know a bit more of a clue please, I have ancestry but its not throwing that entry up at me
Ta Toni, you know I have 13 pages of one line entries for possible births, and similar list for census possible sightings.  
Cheers, all MA

,
as Mary had previously married. 

Mary Smith was born Mary Ann HUNT in Manchester, Lancashire England. 

Mary Smith’s death registration (July 1930) gives her parents as Hartley Hunt, a farmer and Mary Dickens.  On all the NSW birth certificates for her children her full name, Mary Ann Hunt is recorded.

do you know what Marys first married name was?

[majm]

Hi Toni,

re Abraham Smith the waterman in that lane, his John Smith - well I have email contact with the chap who has done that research on that Smith line, and there were two births registered in 1840 for a John Smith.  One was son of Abraham and Amelia, the other was son of John and Lucy.

Hope that explains your questions, Cheers MA
