Trying to find Smith

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Hello, I have a hit a brick wall with my own SMITH. Henry Smith was born in Birmingham circa 1865, married Louisa BRETT in Suffolk Aug 4 1889. Was a butcher and possibly had a daughter Lilian Smith before emigrating to Mackay, Queensland before settling in Perth, West Australia. Cannot find any emigration records of either of them into Australia either. Their trail begins in Mackay in 1897 but nothing really before then. I am stumped with just this information. Ms Brett and Mr Smith do not have any fine info on their death certificate and I cannot find their marriage certificate. Ms Brett was born in the East End of London but this is where I am stumped. Any help would be grateful. Thanks
