Thank you Shume for the possibilities! I didn't realize there were German language newspapers on Trove. I will take a look.

I'll have to get access to a Family Search centre to gain access.

I thought they might be viewable at home. If not, I might be able to look for you, especially if you guide me where to look. It has been a while since I have looked for English wills and administrations.

Australia / Philipp Schmidt immigrant to New South Wales
« on: Thursday 21 November 24 20:32 GMT (UK)  »

Please, I am looking for more information about this immigrant to Australia.
New South Wales, Australia, Assisted Immigrant Passenger Lists, 1828-1896.
Philipp Schmidt, age 43 (born calculated 1812), Shepherd, Native place & country: Baden, parents: dead Laurence & Elisabeth, Religion: Evangelical, read or write: both, Arrived 31 Mar 1855, New South Wales, Australia, Vessel Aurora, Alternate Origin Location: Lorch, Nassau

I am trying to find out what happened to Philipp Schmidt, born 1 Mar 1811 in Ober-Auerbach, Durlach, Karlsruhe, Baden, to Lorenz Schmidt & Elisabetha Brecht. Lorenz, who was born in Hohenswetterbach, was a citizen of Kleinsteinbach, and moved around working as a shephard. I am also looking for Philipp's brothers Andreas and Jacob. His brother Michael Schmidt, my 3rd great grandfather, immigrated to the USA. In the USA Michael's Schmidt name evolved to Smith. I have added more about the family here:

Thank you.

I just learned my aunt has a DNA match with a descendant of William Davies and Ann Bailey and they have a copy of William Davis & Ann Bailey's marriage certificate. Ann Bailey is indeed a daughter of "William Bailey, Fancy Basket Maker."

London and Middlesex / Re: Sarah Sutton's (1822-1891) novels?
« on: Monday 16 March 20 15:55 GMT (UK)  »
I descend from Sarah's grandfather Daniel Sutton's (1763-1829) half sister Mary Sutton (1778-1847). Sadly I am not showing a DNA match with you, but maybe you have a match with my granduncle. I am sending you a PM. I would be happy to share what I have collected on the interesting Sutton family, but I don't have anything on the Williams family except for Elizabeth Sutton's husband William.

I can understand your frustration on the Williams line. My Williams family lived in Trevethin & Abersychan. https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=651332.0
