Biography
Rupert was born about 1873 and was christened on 23 November 1873 at Essex, England. He is the son of Joseph Smith and Emma Rudkin.[1]
He immigrated to New Zealand on 16 Jan 1875 with his parents and siblings, arriving aboard the Dillharee.[2][3]
While the newspaper clipping listed Joseph and Mary and 5 children, there were actually 9 children (4 being recorded as single males/females). There is also a Hannah Smith, age 40 (possibly a sister to Joseph?).
He married Emily Charlotte Tierney on 1 Jan 1897.[4][5]
He married Henrietta Barker about 1907.[6]
Rupert and Henrietta had two children. Mona Augusta Smith[7] and Eunice Melville Smith[8]
He passed away on 18 April 1913 and was buried on 20 April 1913 at Purewa Cemetery, Auckland, New Zealand.[9]
