Edward Smith & Amelia Gwilliam 1843 (General)
I am so glad you have been able to work that out. I must also be the 7x great granddaughter of John & Maria Smith as Edward & Amelia are my 3x great grandparents. I have just returned to NSW after 4 weeks in Britain but I didn't have time for indepth research. Managed to find Joyford Hill where my great grandfather, Benjamin Smith (1875-1946)was born and also found the church at Christchurch where he was baptised and Edward & Amelia are buried. Unfortunately the church was not open and there was no access to the churchyard so I couldn't see any of the graves. I tried ringing the doorbell at the adjoining vicarage but no one answered despite being able to hear someone inside practising the bagpipes!. The surrounding countryside was absolutely beautiful; I don't know how Ben and his brothers could bear to leave it but I guess times were hard and they thought Australia would offer a better life.
