Many thanks, Alexander for the advice. Will definitely look at that website. Perhaps a trip to Notts RO is in order! It was never going to be easy researching such a surname!!

Thank you very much Carol, for the offer. Here are the two census returns that show children and addresses.

1841 Pierrpoint St (St Mary's parish) Nottingham
William Smith 30 whitesmith b Notts
Catherine Smith 30               b Ireland
Eliza Smith 6                         b Notts
Catherine Smith 4                 b Notts
Mary Smith 2                         b Notts
Joseph Smith 4 days             b Notts

1851 Park St, Lenton
William Smith 42 smith          b Fiskerton Notts
Catherine Smith 40 Brace Maker b Ireland
Catherine Smith 16 Cotton doubler b Radford Notts
Mary Smith 12 Scholar          b Lenton
Joseph Smith 9                     b Nottingham
Samuel Smith 7                     b Nottingham
William Smith 2                     b Nottingham [Radford] 

(Quite excited as I had always assumed my Smith side was from Birmingham and that I was in needle-in-haystack territory..but instead it seems like they are the "Smiths of Fiskerton" which makes it a little easier to contemplate (and it's not far from where I live!). Plus an unexpected Celtic ancestor when none of my branches had, until now, gotten out of the Midlands. All good fun).

 Thanks again for looking. Any Lincs stuff I can do at LAO for you, let me know. Toz

I am looking for the baptism of William Smith in Fiskerton c1811 and have had no luck with IGI. Could anyone help me please in finding reference to this please?

Kind regards Toz

Thanks so much for your help
