Dear Gordan,
Please help me if you can!
I am looking for any information on ancestors or descendents of William Smith and Sarah Palfrey originally from Devon England who came to Australia. I have no dates of Death or exactly when they came to Australia although
I did find the following baptisms to a William & Sarah SMITH in Devon:
6 Feb 1807 Elizabeth @ Clyst Honiton
14 Nov 1808 William @ Broad Clyst
1 Oct 1810 Ann @ Clyst Honiton
9 Jun 1813 James @ Broad Clyst
29 Mar 1815 Anna Maria @ Broad Clyst
9 Apr 1817 Anna Maria @ Broad Clyst
16 Jan 1820 Hermon @ Clyst Honiton
17 Jul 1822 Thomas @ Rockbeare
2 Feb 1825 John @ Rockbeare
14 Mar 1827 Mary Ann @ Rockbeare
Mary Ann Smith born 14 March 1827 migrated to Australia with her parents and possibly Hermon her brother as well.
They resided in Victoria and Mary Ann married David on August 6th 1858. David Christian Frederick Bahn(more commonly known as frederick) wasborn 1824 originally from Germany. I have absolutely no information on David aside from his parents listed as Philip Bahn and Wilhilmine/a Wittig. Mary Anns date of death is listed as 2nd of July 1905.
This is possibly William the son of William and Sarahin the 1851 census - note a son Herman:
