Correction to my post above. William Shoesmith of Bexhill-on-Sea, of the Little Common Gang, was my great great great grandfathe (3 greats, not 2!). I'm intending to clarify, not confuse!

Hello Andrew & Deb
Tonight's the first time i've been on RootsChat for about a month.
Interestingly, just a couple of weeks ago, I asked my Shoesmith friend (who's the son of my OH) whether he'd been in contact with Deb  ???
And by another coincidence, he now lives in Toowoomba!
But he seemed to think his lot aren't related to the Toowoomba gunsmith family??

Hi Dawn

The only gunsmith in my Shoesmith family was cousin Darryl, who after his father (Victor Campbell Shoesmith) who owned the gunshop died, went to Victoria to train as a Lutheran clergyman. He's now an ordained Lutheran minister, and no longer a gunsmith!
