Hi All,
I have Emma Dodd supposedly born in Somerset in 1847,
She married John Smart in 1883 in Warwickshire.
John and Emma moved to Australia and lived firstly in Queensland and finally in Victoria.
I have plenty information on the family in Australia but am trying to find Emma's birth and possible parents and siblings.
According to her death certificate her father was William Dodd - this may not be correct.
Thanks in anticipation
Dale

Why do you not think her father's name is William?
Do you have her 1883 marriage certificate to John Smart that should confirm her father's name and his occupation?

Firstly I would like to thank you all for the fantastic information provided.
This is certainly the Emma and her family I am chasing.
There was conflicting information I was given and the story I posted was the best I could come up with. Emma's death certificate also said she was born in Dorset.
Thanks again - very much appreciated
Dale
