Hi, I am new to Smithchat so forgive me if i don't set this up correctly ...

William Smith (born 17 Apr 1791 Dumfries, Dumfries, Scotland) married Margaret Alison (born about 1784 Castle Douglas, Galoway, Scotland) in 1811 in Dumfries. They had 6 children before moving to Bolton Le Moors, Lancashire around 1831 where they had another couple of children.

In 1833 they emigrated to Australia on the "Brothers" without their 4 eldest children Jannet (married Robert Todd), John (married jane Eliza Smith), William & Alexander (became a Lt Col & killed in the China War).

William's father was John Smith born about 1755 in Dumfries and his mother was Jane Oliver.

Have a large body of information on descendants in Australia but nothing beyond the above in Scotland. I would be thrilled to hear from anyone researching the same twig of the family tree.
