Samuel Smith was born in Brooksbottoms Lancashire around 1815. He had a brother Thomas born 1832 who immigrated to Greta Australia. Samuel married Alice Greenhaugh (born 1810) on 24/6/1834.Samuel and Thomas had 5 children. Betty 1835, John 1836 who immigrated to Australia, Thomas 1837, James 11/2/1839 who immigrated to Australia, and Betty ca 1852.
Looking for possible siblings of Samuel (only 2 known). Also the names and information about Samuels Smith's parents. We think Alice Greenhaugh's parents were William and Alice. Siblings Betty and William.
Been on Ancestry.com and other sites but no luck confirming anything. Believe they lived at Brookhouse St. Tottington in later years.
Any help appreciated.

To get a handle on your search, can you confirm or not that these are your ancestors in 1851? The census says all born Bury.

I have moved your query from Navigating Brit-Gen to the Lancashire Forum where it should attract more interest.

I believe you are correct about the correct name is Greenhalgh. Often confused with Greenhaugh and Greenhaigh. We thought parents were Thomas and Betty. Probably got that from another family tree. I have another tree that suggests it was James and Betty. Need more research.

Samuels brother Thomas married Ellen Nuttall in Bury in 22/5/1856. They came to Australia soon after and children were born in Australia. Samuels son Thomas stayed in the UK and marriage is not known.

Don't think so. However I have noticed a Susanna Smith in some of the census documents. May be another relation.
