Hello Kay99 this is the one 1841 census I have saved okay. I am hoping its the right family. Yesterday I did another search on Parish Registers online lancashire typing in the parents Richard and Ellen, to see what children they had together. The Thomas Smith my ancestor wasn't shown only another Thomas born/bap 21/12/1809. My ancestor Thomas Smith bap.29/3/1822 St. Chad Poulton-Le-Fylde, Lancashire Abode Thornton, Occupation: Labourer son of Richard Smith & Ellen. Thomas migrated to Australia onboard the Vessel Hope which was built I think in Blackpool Lancashire. He settled in Penrith and built a similiar version of the house he lived in, Thornton Hall a beautiful home near Penrith you can only see it by rail. But thanks to my other ancestor Laura Player (who lives in Perth) has saved this home, with a large verandah, tall ceilings and polished floors, from being pulled down. Thomas Smith then married a Jane Laimbeer who also came out to Australia as a servant to a Minister, on the 6/3/1843 St. Bartholomew Church of England. He was 74 when he died. Jane died 26/6/1899 (75) Thornton Hall Penrith N.S.W. They are buried together in the same church grounds. They named a Street after Jane. I need to find more records of this couple, I lost a lot of files when my computer was hacked twice at the beginning of the year. Maybe some of the files will be on the windows 10. Have a good weekend.
