he appears on the 1841 to 1871 census Inc living in Frimley, and died 1874

1851 census states born Cove Hampshire England
1861 states born Fleet Pond Hampshire England

Hi Judi

What was the reason for putting down an alternative name of Johnathan?

Thanks

Jeff

The man you are looking for is likely to be

4APR1795  JOHN SMITH s/o RICHARD AND HANNAH  at Yateley

St John's Church Cove was not built until 1844 so prior to that Cove was part of Yately.

There is a Marriage at Yately

4APR1776   RICHARD SMITH to HANNAH GODDARD

Hope that helps
