Smiths from Gloucester & Birmingham

Hi,
This is my first time of using a Chat site - hope I'm going around it the right way.. My name is Joan Canning, I live in a small country town in Victoria, Australia.
My interest in the Smith name originates from my ggGrandfather, Charles Smith, born Gloucester approx.1813, married Hester Beer, 16th April, 1832. The family moved to Birmingham approx. 1842 where my gGrandfather was born in 1851, one of 12 children. Frederick married Letitia Jemima Haynes in Birmingham in 1872. My Grandmother Rose Ada Smith was born 1874 and the family moved to Australia in 1877. Eventually settling in Melbourne. I know nothing of the movements of Frederick's brothers and sisters. There was never any mention of them here in Australia.
Currently my Smith line has hit a brick wall have been unable to go further back than Charles.
Hopefully someone else may visit this site and find a connection with my Smiths.
Cheers
Joan

Hi Joan and welcome to Smith Chat.

I am also from Australia - Perth in fact and understand how hard it is to do your family tree from the otherside of the world.

We will do all we can to help you so please keep coming back to have a look and once again welcome.

:flower: Hello Joan and Welcome, I'm glad you found us OK.

Thanks for telling us about your Smith interests of Gloucester & Birmingham. Yes, it would be good to find information about Frederick's siblings wouldn't it. Have you got any of their names and approximate dates of birth, maybe from the Census?

Joan, I'll add you to the Smith Chat Usergroup "Smith-Other UK Counties". The only reason for this is - that your Username will in future be displayed in green - to differentiate from Smith of Lancashire, WRYorkshire & Isle of Man.

Look forward to sharing more interests with you & as mattycat & chellin have already said, we'll certainly help all we can with your research.
Carole.
