Completed Census Requests / Re: 1871 Ilkley, Yorks SMITH
« on: Monday 26 September 11 20:58 BST (UK) »
Hi criggy,
Thanks for your reply.
John Smith was my great grandad. My grandad was Joe Smith, who after the first world war moved to Manchester. He married Annie Blundell and had six children, the oldest of whom was my dad Joseph Smith born on Queens Avenue Near Old Trafford cricket ground. I was born in Stretford but only lived there for a year.
Have you visited Addingham? My dad took me there and we found Thomas Smith's grave along with 5 I think of his children who died young. I have the information somewhere. May be able to send info via another route. Only just joined rootschat last week after finding your request of many years ago. I googled Thomas Smith - stonemason and up came your rootschat. Couldn't believe my eyes!
I visited Blackpool and St Annes the other day enroute to the Lake District for a short break and found John Smith's grave in St Annes Churchyard. I have a photo of John Smith with his first wife Annie Wilkinson and their young children around about 1900.
Best wishes Hari
