Find Ancestors

Thanks. The info posted is what I have. Brothers Allan, Owen and Richard all went to Australia. I have their marriages(Richard did not marry) and deaths. Appears that Maria also ended up there.
Familysearch has a burial for a William Robert Smith 21 Jun 1894 Geraldton W.A. with a year of birth 1848. I suspect this is the person refered to in earlier post and probably not mine.

MR. R. A. TARRANT.

The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954) Saturday 21 May 1932 p 18

MR. R. A. TARRANT. Mr. Richard Arthur Tarrant, whose remains were cremated at Rookwood yesterday ...

(mention of brother Percy, Artist)

This looks like Maria Edith's father's death and probate - and he's described as a print seller, which would match with "picture dealer".

I don't see a brother Richard, though, in any census.
So is this a different family, as you suspect?

Maria Edith Tarrant spinster, born London, lady's companion, 29(1855), Alfred and Mary Ann Tarrant, fathers occupation picture dealer.

Still do not know if she is mine. Parents,her birthplace and witness(Richard A-brother) agrees with my Maria. Age and father's occupation do not agree. My Maria born 1848 and her fathers occupation is always bookbinder.)

Sorry but forgot this info

They were living in Darlinghurst, Sydney

No idea when he immigrated. I am following Marie Emma Tarrant (1848 Hampstead) Some of her brothers went to Australia and I thought she may have also gone. Problem is her age and fathgers occupation do not match so not sure how accurate William's info is.
The info for William Robert is taken from the church register
William was a plumber

What was William's occupation?

Which part of Australia was he living in when he married?

Have you any idea when he emigrated to Australia???

I wonder ?????????????????

Hi Ed

You might need to buy the marriage certificate to check the full details of names and ages

When/where were the BM's of the couple please?

I have an 1884 marriage transcription from Australia for William Robert age 27. He states that he was born in London and that his parents were John and Ellen Smith. His father's occupation was Inland Revenue Officer.
Can someone have a look and see if they can find him in census please?

Addendum - when the wife died her name was spelt Smyth
