grave site search-COMPLETED found in NZ
« on: Sunday 10 May 09 07:47 BST (UK) »
Hi all

Posting this in the hope that someone might recognise the setting.  The person who erected the monument was his daughter, and her nickname from her father was Tassie.  The grave site could be in Tasmania or Victoria, but according to another researcher no record of his death in Tasmania could be found.

Thanks in anticipation

Acookey

Sorry, something went wrong there with attaching the photo.  Will go back to the drawing board.

Hi Jenn

Its William Thomas Smith died 75 yrs in 1876.  Sorry had to drop the resolution down to be able to send it, and it is not as clear. 

The Cassie is Tassie and that was William's nickname for his second daughter.

Thanks for your interest

Ah so  the daughters nicname was Tassie, do you  have any  details as to where she was born. Is her last name Davies?

I  have checked  Victoria and no  death  to  match, continuing looking though

Beat me too it CANdo mmn  think on  the same  lines  here  but wonder where Tasman is ? As it seems  to be a region of  the Tasman Peninsula rather than a town
