Member Since: January 2011 Posts: 2 Send Message	Hi I am trying to find information on Richard William Smith I believe husband of Mary Bransby Smith and mother and father of Willam Smith who came to the Swan River Colony Western Australia in October 1829 on a ship called Caroline. I am a decendent of William Smith who married Mary Ann Barron in 1845 in Western Australia. Hope you can help. I am unsure where to look. Thanks Jill

Member Since: January 2011 Posts: 2 Send Message	Thankyou - very new to this. Would it appear that Richard Smith and Mary Bransby were married in 1828 and were the Latters witnesses or was Richard & Mary witnesses?. Is that how I would read the information?
