| Further Information | 1841 British Army Census 12th Foot Location Mauritius 1851 British Army Census 12th Foot Location Chatham Isaac Smith first came to WA as a soldier of the 12th regiment in 1856 from Hobart Tasmania on the ship Windsor. His daughter Elizabeth Ellen Windsor Smith was born on the voyage and baptised Ellen Smith on 16th January 1856 Perth WA.There is some confusion over Elisabeth’s name she is referred to as Elizabeth Ellen by the WA Bi-Centennial Dictionary, Elizabeth in her diamond wedding anniversary and 80th birthday and Ellen Windsor McKenna in her probate document and Ellen in her death notices. She said she was born at sea on the Windsor in 1856 . The WA Bi-Centennial Dictionary said Isaac came to WA in 1856 with Captain Palmer |
