Frances
I haved PMd you the link
You have to register, then you can search free of charge, then pay in euros to view the actual image
I found another of the children there as well. I noticed that each of the children have 2 names, ie Robert Edward 1865 Co.Roscommon civil birth (by the way)
Leopold Samuel. That would mean that Ernestine would have had a 2nd name also. I have tracked Thomas to Portsea in 1857/8 would it be possible that Ernestine may have been baptised in that area before the mother went to Ireland?. I am now pretty sure that Ernestine was not her birth name, and the name used in the other registrations was Smyth without the E. You may well know all this already!! Thomas was moved from Woolwich in 1857 to Portsea, so perhaps the birth itself was registered there.
Found one girl registered Louisa Sarah Smyth JFM Portsea , so birth 1858/9. Speculation I know, and nothing like Ernestine, !!!!

Anne

I have had a quick look, and am wondering if the Alexander King on the Woolwich 1851 census is your man. The occupations are so different within 3 years. 1851 says blacksmith , and on marriage cert says shipwright?.
So am going to search first of all for William who we know is Alexanders father. That way we can be sure that we are going down the right path.
Regards
Anne

DEBBIE
Forget that last one, it is the same one, its William the father who is the Shipwright. Sorry.
Im on the case now, and will get back shortly.
