John and Isabella Smyth (or Smith), and family, arrived in Townsville 7 November 1882, via an assisted passenger immigration program. The Vessel was Stirlingshire, and it departed Glasgow, Scotland 10 August 1882.
The Smith (or Smyth) family listing in the Passenger list was:
Smith, John – 33 years
Smith, Isabella – 33 years
Smith, Martha – 6 years
Smith Margt (short for Margaret) – 3 years
Smith Annabella – 1 year
Smith, Eliza, Inf.
Mary Jane Smith, future wife of Joseph Raynor, was not yet born.
Review of the passenger list extract states: ‘Mr Robinson, Townsville, milkman’ – possibly he sponsored the emigration?
Another issue I just noticed – I’ve been wondering how Isabella fared when John died just over a year after arrival in Townsville. On the passenger list is a family of Simpsons – might be a coincidence – but could the family be related ie. the father (who is listed age 29) -is possibly the brother of Isabella. I will check this out as a possibility.

I can help you with the answer to your question how Isabella fared with John died
Hi Simone any info on Isabella and John would be great. I created this website hoping other descendents might get in touch and share their information.
Hi. I am a direct descendant of Margaret Smyth. She was my grandmother. I was looking to find the street number in Knapp Street where she lived in Townsville. Hayden Jarrett is my name. Love to hear from you with any info..photos would be amazing.
Hi Hayden,
Thanks for getting in contact, I set up this website to get more information from family members, while doing my own research into the family tree. I’m a great grand child of Mary Jane Smyth, the youngest of Isabella Smyth’s Children (and your grandmother’s sister). I don’t have any information on the street number on Knapp St, I only know about Knapp St because that is where my Great Grandmother was born – Mary Jane Smyth, in April 1884. I am also looking for the actual address (on Knapp St) and if/when I find it I’ll let you know.
I don’t think there are many photos of Isabella and daughters, I suspect they were too poor to get any done (as in the late 1800s photographs could only be done at professional studios). However, there might have been some photos taken at the Townsville orphanage and/or the schools the children attended. If I come across any, I will definitely publish them on this site for all family members to view and download if they wish.
