Thomas and my great grandfather, James, were brothers. James was the youngest child of Robert Smails and Margaret Williamson. He was born 3 May 1846 in Surry Hills, Sydney NSW.
Do you know when Robert and Margaret arrived in Tasmania? I am in contact with a grandson of Sarah Smails, Georgina's sister, and he has not been able to establish how they arrived and neither have I.
I would be willing to share information if you are interested. Look forward to hearing from you.
