Hi, Im not sure if there is any connections with my family.
My Family seem to have links to the Todds from Wolfhill, Ligoniel, but we are not yet sure who or how.
My G Grandfather William Smith and his Wife Susanna Smith (Nee Smith/Smyth) from Ligoniel
Children were William, James, Robert, Thomas, Mary Jane, Sarah and Maggie.
For some reason they were also known as Todds i.e My grandfather Thomas Smith was known as Tommy Todd and his Brother Robert Smith was known as Bobby Todd, Bobby lived in 186 Ligoniel Road and was killed in the early 1970's by being hit by a bus.
We were told that My Great Granda William Smith was an orphan, sent from Edinburgh to Legoniel to be brought up by his relatives the Todds. So he was known by Todd and so the surname was passed on to his kids.
Has anyone found any connections between Smith/Todds.
The mystery continues.......
Many thanks.
