  • Notes 
    • Most amazing coincidence? I got an email from a descendant of John Davison Smith, born abt Jan 1787 in England and died 27 Oct 1871 in Australia, wondering about
      «a href="http://members.net-tech.com.au/~thore/smithjdavison.htm"»John Davison Smith«a» and his relationship to John Davison Smith Winder, son of Van Perkins Winder and Martha Grundy... Can anyone explain the relationship?

      Ann, I'm just curious to know if you have any idea how this child got "John Davison Smith" as his Christian names? My great-great-grandfather was a John Davison Smith and in the East India Shipping Co before living in India for a few years. He then brought his family to Australia around 1850. He was the son of a Church of England Minister Rev Digby Smith of Worcester, England. Regards, Terry.
