A few became timber mill owners and these employed men who were skilled in operating machinery. Some of these men were ship builders, used to working with fine timbers, or ex-seamen with experience in the new-fangled steam engine. Such a one was Ernest John Smith.
Here he was working as an engineer, no doubt looking after the milling machinery. His short stay became permanent when he met Sarah Ann Bostock, the daughter of Charles and Mary Ann Bostock (nee Browning). Sarah came from a large family and was only 16 when she married the 24-year-old Ernest.
Ernest and Sarah were to have a large family of 14 children, 12 of whom survived infancy. Perhaps because of his growing family Ernest changed his place of work several times over the years, each time improving his situation.
Soon after his marriage he obtained work at the famous O'Flynn's foundry in Lismore. This was one of the largest industries in Lismore at the time and Ernest worked there probably as a fitter mullingar pewter and turner.
His younger brother, Tom Albert Smith, arrived in Lismore some time later and the two brothers decided to purchase a sawmill at South Lismore, dismantle it, and take it to Dunoon where Ernest and Sarah were then living.
The scheme was not successful, however, because of the lack of an adequate water supply. Ernest was forced to return to Lismore for some time and seek work again, this time as a skipper mullingar pewter of the drogher "Pasha" owned by Cottee and Sharpe.
Ernest was offered part-time work with Bennett Bros at Casino and he accepted. He was to remain in Casino for the rest of his life, even in retirement, in a house built and given to him by Bennett Bros.
