Title: Jane Smith - Maiden Name
Post by: CHackett on Thursday 06 March 25 19:34 GMT (UK)

This is going to be quite a long shot due to the frequent surname. But I wondered if anyone could help search for the maiden name of Jane Smith (b.1869) who married Joseph Smith (b. Nov 1869). They lived in Ilkeston during their lives and had 5 children

- Ethel
- Jane
- Hilda
- Doris
- Murial

1911 Census
Jane Smith says married 22 years 6 children 5 living and 1 deceased. So missing a child somewhere.

Difficult to tell the other child as there is another family Smith/Moore having children

Belvoir Terrace, Ilkeston, Basford, Derbyshire
Going by the 1871 census, Jane was probably the daughter of William Moore, b 1825 in Heanor, and Mary Ann Ball, b 1828 in Heanor.

She was baptised, together with her brother, Thomas, on 25th November 1871, in Stapleford, Nottinghamshire.

A number of trees on Ancestry with the Moore family, but none seem to have Jane's marriage.

P.S.

Jane Moore married Joseph Smith at the Primitive Methodist Chapel, Ilkeston, in 1890

William Moore married Mary Ann Ball at Mount Zion Chapel, Heanor, in 1849

I am torn between Jane's mother being Mary Ann Ball or Mary Ann Capes, I have found two potential Jane Moores born 1869 Derbyshire so am unsure.

Buying a copy of her marriage cert to establish her fathers name & occupation may help

There is also the possibility that one of her siblings may have been a witness

From trees on Ancestry:-

William Moore who married Mary Ann Capes is on the 1851 census in Alfreton. On the later censuses, he is in Howell, Lincolnshire, but no daughter named Jane.
