Hi Rozee,
The elusive Thomas Smith/ McKenzie is also my gr gr great grandfather and Mary my gr gr gr grand mother.
This is where I fit into the HUGE Family Tree (more like a forest):
Thomas Smith/ McKenzie Married wife No. 2 Mary Harriet Birdsill
Agnes Smith (their daughter) Married Joseph Argent
Theodore William Agent (their son) Married Muriel Rose Long
My Grandfather (their son) (Living) Married My Grandmother (Deceased)
My Mother (their daughter) (Living) Married My Father
Me, Kate (Living... obversely) QLD Australia
I would love a copy of his British Army records and his conviction records. If you are happy to give them, i can post a temporary email address you can send them to.
Any hints as to what the misdemeanor was that shamed his family back in Ireland?
Do you have or know of anyplace that has a picture of Thomas or Mary, all i can go on is the detailed description give when were busted.
