The Gardens Family
This web site is the culmination of my research into my paternal line and includes the family of my
great-great grandfather Thomas Arthur Bailey and the search to find the origins of his parents. My first obstacle was
locating death records for Edward Bailey and Sarah Williams. Hampered by the lack of information required on early
death certificates in Tasmania confirming parents or family relationships can be difficult thus hindering the task of
establishing ones origins.
In recent times I have been able to add another chapter into the life of my Tasmanian ancestors with the discovery of
the origins of my great-great-great grandmother Sarah Williams. The journey has lead to the discovery of ancestral ties
to the First Fleet, the settlement on Norfolk Island and to a new beginning in Van Diemen's Land.
It has been a pleasure to be given a glimpse into the lives of my forbears through their successes and hardships to
make Tasmania their home for nearly two hundred years.
