Smith-201441 and Smith-22280 do not represent the same person because: John Smith of Beswick, East Riding of Yorkshire probably dies before he marries but we know his birthplace and parents for sure.
- John Chester Smith is born in Sandhurst. He marries and has 14 children 1849 to 1879 in NSW Austraia.
- These are clearly two different people.
