Title: Lost life sailing from Montagu Rver to Stanley 1884
Post by: noeline on Sunday 24 July 11 01:21 BST (UK)
Hi,
  I am looking for information on Henry Smith [ born 1818 ? ] Lost his life sailing from the Montague river Tasmania to Stanley on a cutter = Fanny 1884.
I can follow his wife's family back [Stearne and Thorp] but can't trace Henry Smith.
  Regards,
