Hi from NZ cov2811
Thank you for that record.I new that Thomas was the apprentice .He was the one who came out to NZ in 1870s. However Benjamin Smith, his other son ,was a Carpenter and I would have thought he would have been an apprentice to his father .Benjamin was the older son .He may have been out of his time by the time Thomas took over as his apprentice.He was 6 years his brothers senior.
