Hi

Not sure if this is your John Smith but it might be a start. Found on Trove

Yes that is the same John Smith, need a birth record for him, would not know what year he died except prior to 1950, unsure if he moved on from Blackall after the death of his wife in 1989.

Hi

Well that certainly is interesting and could be your John. I also came across a few articles with John Smith and minor convictions in the same time frame in the same area.

It's going to make searching for him that much harder with all those aliases as John Smith is hard enough. I can't seem to find any info in regard to him in any other way and if the other post indicates that his kids were put into orphanages -

there is no other name to link with him to help searches. He could have married after Honora died and with no parents names for him.....
