Diane, I have ancestors Steven Andrews (came from Bath Somerset) married
3/7/1886 Clara Smith (family had connections with surveyors in Hobart) their
daughter Lily b.1893 married Frederick Charles Clark, son of George Clark
(Scotland) and Catherine Beeson (Ireland).
All these people were in Lefroy/Georgetown area and I have no idea whether
they were convict heritage or free settlers.
If you come across any similar names, I would be delighted.
Regards,
Sharon Finn
