I am decended from a John Smith for whom we only have few records- Father: Joseph; b about 1807; m Sarah Sisley 4 Sept 1840 in Bathurst; chn Martha, John, Elizabeth, Fanny and Thomas; lived in Orange or Molong area when married; d 2 May 1896. This seems really similar to the story of Elizabeth in that there is no mother listed. We have also wondered about John having an Aboriginal mother. Does anyone have any clues as to whether John could be Elizabeth's sister or if there was a John in Joseph's complicated family?
Thanks.
