Elizabeth TUCKER - Alfred SMITH b1834

[rosball]

This seems to be funeral notice for Alfred SMITH in 1927 - is this correct?  Is there any confirmation of children from different marriages here?

From NSW BDM Alfred SMITH parents James and Sarah at Balmain South reg 6793/1927

Or do I have the wrong Alfred SMITH?  (adding he would be quite elderly in 1927  )

cheers,
   Ros

adding : there is also an Alfred SMITH who died in 1906 with parents James and Sarah at Sydney reg 149/1906
death notice http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article14732060 he was 74
funeral notice http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article14731906 no family info

Perhaps you could give us the birth and death dates so I don't go too far off track

Empire Monday 31May 1869
marriage...Emilia SMITH daughter of Mr Edward SMITH, government contractor, of 14 Hutchinson Street

471 / 1869 SMITH Emilia m. FREDRIEND Alfred A              Sydney

Thanks so much for this Wivenhoe. I do not have an Edward Smith or a Emilia Smith. However, being that they're from the same address I'm sure there's a connection. So I've ordered the transcription through Marilyn Rowan just then

Which family are you descended from please?   

From the three marriage certificates...can you name the witnesses please?

[majm]

Imay have missed a reply to Wivenhoes question.... But does the dc list all three wives and the offspring?  It may be important due to popularity of his surname. 

Thanks Ros ...Yes I used my tips on one or two ....seven actually ...of my own NSW based SMITH ancestors......

Cheers JM

This appears to be Charlotte's funeral notices in January 1914 which mentions lots of family. 

Her sisters are given as Mrs Lintern and Mrs Hanslow (and there are appropriate marriages for Bowers ladies to Lintern and Hanlsow on NSW BDM )

And a memoriam notice in 1915 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article15563629 and in 1916

adding : there is also a Charlotte Smith, wife of Alfred who died in July 1914 (and I am getting confused  )

Thanks so much Ros !! Some great newspaper articles here that have firmed up some suspicion of siblings and different things. I've edited the newspaper auto article and downloaded the PDF. What a great find.

The July, 1914 must be some other person she did pass in Jan, 1914. Interestingly, there was another Alfred Smith child b.1858 (1492/1858) interestingly, he is not seen again. No marriage or death certificate.
