NOTE: This is a TEMPORARY WEBSITE ONLY, and is meant as a stopgap until the Main Website has been updated. Some of the notes are incomplete and many of the links will not work. There is still much data to add and conflicts to settle.

This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.

I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.

If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.

Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.

If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

Notes


Leonard Thomas Smith

Notes from Lavinia McKewan:

Leonard is listed on his marriage certificate as having been born in Pietermaritzberg, South Africa and his age is given as 24 years. He was married on September 6th 1906 to Malinda Hemmings aged 23 years born Peabody's Blocks London England.
No records could be found for a Leonard Thomas Smith born in Pietermartizberg around 1882. Lavinia's grandmother, Louisa Amelia Jane Smith, was born in Brisbane and moved to Melbourne when she was 10 years old, after Malinda Hemmings died. Nothing is known of Leonard Smith after 1920 although he is said to have remarried and had a son Lenny.
Leonard Thomas Smith and Malinda Hemmings had two children both girls - Louisa Amelia Jane born 29 June 1910 and her older sister Malinda Rose born around 1907. On Louisa's birth certificate Leonard again lists his birth in Pietermaritzberg. After Malinda Hemmings died the girls moved to Melbourne and went to live with Malinda's sister Rose

Lavinia McKewan moved back to Brisbane with husband and children in 1989 and began to look for the Smith side of the family.
