I am looking for a baptism of a William Smith (poss James William Smith) in Bourn ca 1865. The 1871 census has him shown as Grandson of James & Mary Smith - 1851 and 1861 census show them as having only daughters, Eleanor, Mary Ann, Betsy & Emma - William's marriage certificate gives his father as James. I suspect he could possibly be an illegitimate son of one of James' daughters and brought up by James, his grandfather, gave his name as father when he married?
Would appreciate any Smith's in Bourne around 1865.
Thanks,
Wendy
