Title: Lillian Smith
Post by: soxie on Saturday 03 July 10 20:23 BST (UK)
 Lillian Smith b London England married ????? and moved to South Africa. One child was called Alex/ Alec. It is believed they had a farm or small holding in South Africa.
Lillian came to Birmingham England to see her sister ALICE JEMIMA HERBERT nee Smith in the 1950's. Alice married in 1890 at St Saviour London to HORACE HERBERT
Vague I know but the dreaded Smith name has only just come up in this family and I am finding it hard.

Can someone help pleeeeease? A shot in the dark I know  ???

Thank you for your reply PaulineJ.

 Sadly I don't know Lillian's age.
Her father was THOMAS SMITH mother JEMIMA ANCIENT (married 1862 Hackney)

Alice Jemima was born about 1865-70 b. Hackney London.
We think there were at least 5 children of Thomas and Jemima, in what order we don't know. But they were all born in or around the Hackney area.

Harry, Thomas, Lillian, Albert  and Alice Jemima.

In 1911 Alice and her husband Horace and children were living in Bow Street Birmingham.

I am grateful for your reply. :)

Sorry, I can't help regarding Lillian Smith but am dying to know just how the Whale/Latchford and Herbert families are related (I couldn't figure out how else to contact soxie)!
