On further study I realise I have been wrong re Elizabeth Smith's father. I now realise that Joseph Smith convict from the Neptune 2nd fleet is the most likely candidate. Please disregard my previous post.

Hi Wotname,
Many thanks for your very helpful info. It has taken me a while to sort these contacts and I must say I am still working on it. The issue seems to be that Joseph Smith and Margaret Holmes had children before they were officially married. ie there was Elizabth Smith born 1802, Joseph Smith 1804, William smith 1809, Mary Ann Smith 1811, Sarah Smith 1811 and James Henry Smith 1813. This makes 6 children possibly coming from this partnership. I will have to do more research to see if this is true.
Yes, my gggg grandfather was the Joseph Smith convict 2nd fleet and my father (Joseph Smith) is the child of Frank Smith and Jane Lewis.  Frank Smith was the son of Joseph Smith 1804 and Mary Hannabus. I am about to receive all the heritage and family tree information compiled by my 101 year old aunty Linda Smith daughter of Frank. When it arrives I will be able to list a lot more information for you about their life in Australia.

Hi Andrea I am also direct decent from Joseph Smith convict 1776-1856 my father is Joseph Smith son of Frank Smith son of Joseph Smith etc. I also have not been able to track any details before trial. I see that you have found out where he came from in England which is more than I have been able to find. I am also trying to sort out which children were from his marriage to Margaret Mary Holmes and which children were from her previous three partners. I do not think she was married to the others. I am trying to find out where a search could be made as to his parents etc.

This is my first post on Roots Chat so bear with me.  According to my records, being a descendant of Joseph Smith convict second fleet, Elizabeth Smith was the daughter of William Smith (Alias Smyth). William was the first partner of Margaret Holmes and they were together from 1793. Margaret Mary Holmes came out on the Mary Ann 3rd Fleet and in her life had partnered 4 men. William Morrison 1792, William Smith 1793, Patrick Shannon 1799 and Joseph Smith 1812.  I have more information on their children if it is of interest.
