Looking for Thomas Williams of South Australia
Thomas Williams, born 1855, married Sarah Hazeal, born 1854, on May 17, 1876, in Moonta, South Australia. They had five children Albert, b 1877, Arnold, b 1880, Maud, b 1883, Irene, b 1886 and Valeria, b 1889. I do not know the names of Thomas' parents - or when Thomas died. Can anyone help with the names of his parents? Sarah Hazeal's parents were Peter Hazeal and Elizabeth Smith. I believe Thomas became a hotelkeeper in Moonta and possibly Peterborough and Broken Hill. He was dead before the marriage of his second son, Arnold Horace Hazeal Williams, to Sarah Jane Ralph in Broken Hill, New South Wales on August 15, 1907. Thanks.
