David,While taking up the reaseach, once more, into my family tree one of our daughter's read your message on Manx Genealogy dated 29/11/2010.I am the daughter of Leah and Tommy Bell. I would be most interested to be in touch with you as I feel sure the paper work I have will be of interest to you. The reasech Craig Garrett has done and kindly passed on to me is just great. Craig and his Father have been to visit with my Husband and I. The sad part for me is that my Grandfather was alive and living in Queensland when we came to Australia in 1957,my Mother Leah Isabel passed away in September 1997,my Father John Thomas had passed away in 1994.Thomas Arthur Goldsmith re married twice in Queensland in 1935 and 1962 he passed away in 1968,I have a copy of his death certificate.I also have details of his Army Service in th 2nd world war.
I take it your line comes from one of Walter and Rhoda's 7 children.Who is the niece you name and how does she fit in? Hope to hear from you. Eileen Lerpiniere (Bell)
