This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologys to those whose information has not been added yet.
Photos of individuals can be found in their Scrapbooks. To see who has them click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am adding feature pages containing a more detailed mix of notes, photos and links. These pages are listed 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.

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

ABODES:
1822 ..... Southwick. (Christening)The information on George's marriage and children is supplied by:
Constance Betty Hawken (nee GANT)
152 PURINUAN RD. RESERVOIR,VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA 3073She gives George's birth as: 18 Mar 1816, Southwick, W-Sussex, Eng and parents as John and Elizabeth
The County is wrong and the date is 6 years previous but I have not found him on any Census or other UK records, so I believe this must be him.Constance also supplied the information on George's brother, Henry, who also emigrated to Australia.
It also appears his niece, Amelia Colwell, (my Great Aunt) emigrated to Australia with her husband, George Smith. This is under investigation.
