Title: looking for the parents to James (Barney) Smith
Post by: RebekahBakes32 on Wednesday 03 April 24 09:56 BST (UK)
Hi,
Im trying to look for the parents for James (Barney) Smith who was born on the 27th June 1854 who was born at St Georges Middlesex England as far as parents go I only have William Smith as the father with no details for William to go off as it is blank on his Date of Birth and Date of Death. James married Alice Maud Barnett if anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

If the marriage was 1874 - father William Smith is shown as a shoemaker

Have you looked for James on the 1861 or 1871 census?
