Im thinking that the IOL is a typo too, But i still want to be sure, what do you mean the time is interesting??

Yes it does say that mary was a free immigrant on the marriage certificate.

im pretty positive he was born in 1815....

Hi

Do you have Joseph's death certificate (or a transcription of it) as this should say how long he'd been in NSW? His death cert may also show parents names (if known  by the informant) It should also list all his children which may help with the two children that you have as "possibles". We have ordered his death certificate and are waiting for it to arrive

Did he die at Marrickville, Broken Hill or Young? I noticed that two out of the 3 deaths for a Joseph Smith in 1892 failed to provide parental information  :( - spose one of those is yours   ::) He Died at Marrickville

Does his marriage cert say who his parents were? NOPE

Do any of his children have a distinctive second name that may help in searching for earlier generations?

John Thomas Smith 1858
Henry Charles Smith 1865

Have you checked the Colonial Secretaries Index to see if he was a recorded as a convict? no where do i find that

Good luck (and by the way, WELCOME to RootsChat  ;D )

Di

Hi Dave,

Thanks so much for that,

On his sons birth certificate it says he was 43 in 1858 and born in England.
One of my friends said that the I.O.L was a typo and was T.O.L standing for Ticket Of Leave which must mean he was a convict coming in from another country?

On closer inspection of the original certificate of marriage on the FISH i saw it was actually a I.O.L so now im searching for the meaning of this abbreviation.

Hi All!

I need help  ??? ??? ???

My Grandfather is almost unknown but i know somewhere some how some-one knows something! So i turn to rootschat!

Below is all of the information we have on him:

Name: Joseph Smith
DOB: 1815
DOD: 1892
Married: Mary Sneyda in 1853 at sutton forest NSW,
She was a free immigrant from dublin

We do not know where he came to Australia from but most likely England?

On his marriage certificate it says

Bachelor I.OL

We dont know who his parents are but they had a bus load of children:

John Thomas Smith 1858
Elizabeth Smith 1867
Henry C Smith 1865
Maria Smith 1860
Joseph Smith 1856
Jane Smith 1863

And 2 other possibilities

All Children were Born in Berrima, NSW Australia.

If there is anymore information i can get regarding this it would be amazing. Im just at my wits end on where else to find Joseph Smiths parents DOB etc

All help will be sooo muchly appreciated
