George Miller/ Mary Smith
- Brede
I'm researching my GGG Grandparents George Miller (1788-1821) and Mary Smith (1788-1870)who married 11 Feb 1811 in Brede Sussex England.
Mary was the daughter of David Smith (1770-) and Susannah Richardson (1771-)who married 5 Feb 1788 in Brede Sussex England.
They had two sons, Henry (b. 1812) and Tilden (b. 1814) before George died in Nov 1821 in Brede Sussex England. Mary had John Joseph (or Reeves?)Miller (b. 26 Jan 1826 Brede Sussex England) after George's death.
John married Frances Davis (b. 14 Sep 1820 Brede Sussex England)before 1855 in England before emigrating to NSW Australia.
I'm wondering if you know of these families or you can
help me with any further research ideas.
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth Australia
