I mentioned son Albert in 1939, who has Stanley Smith living in his household. Who is also with this family in 1921

This is the 1921 info for Mary Ann Smith living Cambridgeshire with husband George William Smith

Name   Mary Ann Smith
Gender   Female
Marital Status   Married
Age   49 Years 4 Months
Relation to Head   Wife
Estimated Birth Year   1872
Birth Place   Lincoln, Lincolnshire, England
Residence Date   1921

The 1911 has different details for wife Mary Ann bc 1888, nee Bays

So George William Smith died between 1921 - 1939

Many thanks Cas and PatLac for your replies, really grateful for your continued help and interest 

You are quite correct Cas regarding reply #25, sincere apologies but I missed that amongst all the interaction that was going on.

Unfortunately, I do not have subscription to Ancestry but will attend the local library at the next convenient time to access their version of FindMyPast. I now have the census details you supplied in your reply so downloading a copy from their resources should be straight forward.

I already have a copy of the 1911 census for Mary Ann Parfery, she is listed as a 41 year old Widow living at Swing Brow, Chatteris with her 6 children. Listed as Home Duties but Not Known where born.

Not sure about the 1888 and nee Bayes you mention in your reply though. The Mary Ann I am looking for was Tabor before Parfery and born circa 1870.

Just to report back that the George W Smith who died in St Ives in 1930 aged 78 reference number 3b 240..........is not our man.........this one was a retired Coal Merchant.

Many thanks PatLac and Cas for your replies, you have both been very busy on my behalf and I am very grateful 

I am fairly happy going with date of birth 1871 because of the christening record. I did try to order a digital death certificate for Mary Ann Smith, unfortunately a digital version is not available at present only a certificate ( see screenshot ).

Hi again Steve C,

So you are definitely interested in Mary Ann Tabor, right?

I have noticed some interesting things about her. First son, Luke, was registered in 1893 in Spalding, Lincolnshire, as Luke Fuller Tabor, no mother's maiden name on GRO. Later on he married (4 times!) and died as Luke Parfrey.

She had many children with George Parfery (Parfrey), but one of them Violet May Parfery, was born in 1911 after George's death and before her marriage to George W Smith (1919). Is she her daughter? I'm assuming she is because of her place of birth, North Witchford, and mother's maiden surname, Tabor. Unfortunately she died that same year.

Based on the other children's marriages and offspring (daughter Florence May married Bertie Cooper and their latest children were born in St. Ives in mid 1930s), and considering Mary Ann's DOB 1871, I think this could be her death

Deaths Sep 1944   (>99%)
Smith    Mary A    73    St. Ives    3b   270

Thank you very much PatLac for your latest reply and for the details you enclose. I am familar with quite a lot of the content 

Yes I am interested Mary Ann Tabor, you were informing me about her baptism in 1871 in an earlier reply 

Are you alluding to being 99% sure the Sept 1944 death in St Ives for Mary A Smith was Mary Ann Tabor?


Many thanks again Steve
