NOTES:

Due to Arthur Smith's job as a master builder, he was away from home too often and some times so far away, South Africa & New Zealand, therefore his son, William Gilbert Smith, was raised by Amelia's brother, Arthur Sutherland Harrison, and his wife, Clara Flora Batty. Arhur Smith was well known for his building mastery. I did find a page which gives him credit for building Moorsland in Brisbane, Qld.
