Title: Benjamin Smith Lydbrook
Post by: Alfred Smith on Tuesday 03 January 12 23:19 GMT (UK)

Looking for the parents and burial of Benjamin Smith born about 1806 Gloucestershire (probably Lydbrook)

The1841 census has him living in Cammomile Green in the Hundreds of St Bravells, with his wife and children Alfred and Benjamin.

He married Maria Price July 22nd 1832 in the Parish_Chapel St Briavells. Groom soundex S530

He is not on the 1851 census Maria listed as widow.

Not been able to find out any more than this, any help would be much appreciated.

Many thanks

Alfred

Hi Forest

thanks for that it's an excellent web site.

Think I might have found the burial of Benjamin on it but not enough information to be 100% certain.

Thanks again

Alfred
