New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: New Zealand birth - Phoebe SMITH
« on: Tuesday 27 October 09 05:40 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Althea Since our last contact I have come to the conclusion that in fact Phoebe,s
parents were in fact George Smith Sarah Smith nee Lawrence. On checking thier offspring I find a Daughter born at the correct date of Phoebe,s birth.Dont ask me how the death certificate showed otherwise, but as a lot of the info.only comes at a very stressful time
maybe my aunts details were a bit astray. Having gone through this myself last January
after the loss of my wife after 64 years together, I can understand the problem.

Best wishes and thanks for your help     Ronald

Re:New Zealand birth Phoebe SMITH
Phoebe's Death Certificate, in my possession shows her parents as James and Phoebe.
This info. would have come through her daughter Myrtle (my aunt) who she lived with at the time of her passing. James is listed as a painter and I have found a seaman under that name and trade, who regularly sailed from NZ to Sydney Australia from the age of 19 to 22 yrs.
I will follow this further. By the way I am 89 yrs.old so I have clear memories of my Grand Parents. I only wish I had asked more questions of them.

Hi,Phoebe came to Australia at approximatly 2-3 yeares of age with her parents'
She was married I believe in Sydney, at the age of 16 yrs to Horace Warner Hastings.
So far I (their grandson ) have not been able to get positive proof of this.Maybe they
did not bother? Sydney has no record of a marriage.
