Sorry can't find them in Rollesby, (a very small place), which of the adjoining places would you like me to try, or do you have any other address for them later?

Hi Simon,
Sorry, couldn't find any of the family in Stokesby, so looked through all the parishes of East and West Flegg, quite a few Smiths (of course) but none that fitted.
I did find a Jane in Rollesby, right age but she may not be the right one, hard to tell without other family members:
By the parsonage, Rollesby HO107/766/08 f.7 p.6
Jane Smith 20  F.S

Thank you ever so much Barbara for trying, really appreciate your time and effort.
Unfortunately looking for SMITH's is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Thanks again
Regards Simon
