William Smyth of Portglenone
« on: Wednesday 28 November 12 09:14 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have any info on William James Smyth, who lived in Portglenone. He married Eliza Craig in Nov 1846. They had at least 6 children, and at least 4 of them came to Australia. William was a business man - was agent for White Star shipping, had some connection with an explosives business, was a breeder and shower of dogs at shows around Ireland. He died in 1888 and is buried in the family grave at Broughshane.

Does anyone have any more information please?
