I am hoping someone can help me with this family please.
Martha (Margaret) Smyth (Smith) was born 1 August 1853 somewhere near
Tredegar as she was baptised in the Catholic Church there. Her sister Ann
was born about 1858 and possibly a brother Joseph was born about 1856-1857.
No place of birth known for these two.
Their parents were Thomas Smyth (Smith) and Martha Wall.
Kind regards
Patricia Weber
Hi Patricia
Can't help with specific detail but I think this is the parents' marriage:
Name: SMYTH, Thomas
Registration district: Newport (Monmouthshire)
County: Shropshire
Year of registration: 1851
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Volume no: 26
Page no: 206
Martha WALL also on the same page - the only instance of these two names in
the whole BMD
I couldn't find the family in the 1861 census

Thank you Robert for your help. The Marriage details given for Thomas
Smyth and Martha Wall are correct.
This family just seems to have disappeared although we do know that Ann and
Martha (Margaret) came to Australia in 1875 and 1877 and possibly a
brother/cousin Joseph also came in 1875. Their records are giving us
conflicting information as to their ages and where they were born.
Thomas Smyth (their father) was a Publican according to the two girls Death
certificates. I will just have to keep digging!
