Devon Lookup Requests / Re: 1931 census lookup for Evelina or Maud

I have all the early census records for the Harrod family. How does one find out the history for the Fawsley Hotel I have not found anything for this hotel back in 1951 or earlier.. Is there a library near by which might know something. I live in Canada so all my searching must be done from across the pond.

Evelyn Maud Harrod has been a real challenge from her death cert she was living at Fawsley Hotel,.Sundury Hill,Torquay on the 10th of May 1951 The person who filled out the death certificate did not have great penmanship so I am not able to make out all the handwriting. I think she maybe have had heart issues . It says she was a spinster so she was unmarried.
It would be nice to find out more of her life but I guess that is wishful thinking.as I mentioned previously I do not think my grandmother kept in touch with Evelyn once she moved to Canada. My grandmother died when I was 5 years old so never really knew her.. Any help from folks on list will be appreciated.

Hello Lesley There is no marriage record for Saskatchewan as Vital Statistics has not done the marriages yet.
I have found Daisy on the 1921 Canadian census for Swift Current and she is still single so she married sometime after that year.
According to 1926 census records William came to Canada in 1916.
Daisy's full name is Daisy Viola Hartel .
I have found the headstone pictures for William and Daisy both buried at Sunset Cemetery now known as Resthaven Cemetery.
I can forward them on to you if you don't already have them. Just send me a PM. They had no children.

Antrim / James Smyth /Jane Oakman
« on: Friday 13 August 21 13:07 BST (UK) »
Looking for anyone on list who has a connection to James Smyth Lisburn, County Antrim.
From the Belfast Newsletter 5 May 1818
On the 1st of May by the Rev.Mr. Higginson. Mr. James Smith of Lisburn to Miss Jane Oakman dau. of Mr. William Oakman of Pigeontown near Glenavy.
Lately at Pigeontown,Parish of Glenavy where he had gone for the restoration of his health Mr. James Smyth of Lisburn,aged 40 He was clerk in the Marquis of Hertford's office for upwards of 20 years. In this situation he conducted himself with such prooriety, integrity,and faithfulness as merited and obtained the unqualified approbation f those whom he connected. His mild unobtrusive manners and kind obligiing dispositions procured him the estimation and respect of all who came within the circle of his acquaintance . A widow with a very numerous and promising progeny,remain behind to deplore the irreparable loss they have sustained by the premature death of a affectionate husband and tender parent.
I do not know how many children were born to James and Jane or what happened to the children. I do know Jane remarried to a William English and they immigrated to Canada along with 2 children George and Isabella.
If there should be anyone on list who has a connection to James Smyth or might know how to find the names of the children I would appreciate hearing from you. Odd that the children did not come to Canada with their mother for whatever reason. Wonder how many she had maybe 5 or more.
Another bit of info on James Smyth/Smith he was baptized Catholic in 1-9-1789 parents William Smyth and Anne at Dublin,Bray.
I appreciate any help.
