Nathaniel Smyth b about 1821.married Matilda MacCaughan, (parents John McCaughan and Eliza Smith), they had a son, my Great Grandfather Nathaniel Alexander born 1845 in Teeshan, county Antrim. The attached photo is of him. I can find nothing on either of them, or on my great grandfather in Ireland. The strange part of the story is that Matilda seems to have left a husband and little son behind, come to Australia and re married only 3 years later.
Her son followed her 15 years later and arrived in 1863. They went on to live long lives, she had 2 more children. Nathaniel Alexander Smyth married Mary Millicent Robinson on 4 March 1876 in Camperdown, Victoria. They had eight children in 15 years. He died on 6 November 1928 in Camperdown, Victoria, at the age of 83, and was buried in Victoria.
