Hi Tony,
That's the marriage My nana was a Smith and she married a Smith, who could believe that!!! I didn't have the date of the marriage though, thanks. My Pa's parents James Smith and Fanny Andrews is as far as I go, so know very little about his side of the family.
Sharon.

M'mmmmmm Yes, a SMITH marrying a SMITH...not good........lol

You think they could have at least married a JONES...:>))

Anyway........It appears his mother Fanny Andrews was born in Collingwood ( My birth town.....:>))...and one of six siblings.

Cant find a George ANDREWS marriage to a Elizabeth FREEMAN in Australia

Free BDM ...U.K does show

Marriages Sep 1848
ANDREWS George Keynsham 11 122
FREEMAN Elizabeth Keynsham 11 122

The district Keynsham spans the boundaries of the counties of Gloucestershire and Somerset

As this marriage was 1848....there possibly could be more children before Fanny in 1860

Checking other States.

One more birth registered in Western Australia? Reg Year 1858....Event place Victoria District

ANDREWS, Sarah CB 38112 Birth
Father: George
Mother: Freeman Elizabeth
Event Place: Victoria District
Reg Year: 1858
Reg State: Western Australia
Ref Number: 4282


W.A On-line births ( 1848 to 1859 ) also show
ANDREWS SARAH Fath: GEORGE FREEMAN Moth:ELIZABETH VICTORIA DIST 4282 1858


Perhaps this was their port of Immigration from England....and then moved across to Victoria

Hi Tony,
Thanks once again for all your information and time spent finding it. I will go through this in more detail later on this morning!! I am going to the Bendigo Library this afternoon( my day off )haven't been there for awhile so will hopefully find out a little more on the relo's.
Sharon.

Hi Sharon.

If you need a little more info on the Frank Wiliam SMITH side.....eg: His father James SMITH....B.1860c D.1937 ( as you said ) just let me know.

You say he, James died in 1937. .....Just so you know, there are 15 James SMITH deaths index'd in 1937 in Victoria......and appox 6 James SMITH births in 1860 in Victoria.

Perhaps you already know who his parents were?

Tony

Hi Tony,
I spent a few hours at the library yesterday, found a little more inforamtion on George Andrews and Elizabeth Freemans children. I thought the Sarah born in WA 1858 might be wrong or she had died at an early age because they had named another child Sarah Ann b 1867. Anyway it turns out Sarah died in 1859 in WA aged 11mths,Alfred also died in 1866 aged 21mths and William died aged 10weeks. Leaving George,Sarah Ann and Elizabeth as the only surving children.I cannot believe they lost three children it would have been bad enough to loose just one. I also think I have found the parents for Elizabeth Freeman- George Freeman and Sarah unknown. I was only thinking this morning about getting a marriage cert. for my Pa(Frank Wiliiam Smith) & Nan( Teresa Gertrude Smith) to see if I could find aliitle more on James Smith and where he came from??
Sharon,
PS I dont know who James Smith's parents were
