SMILES, census lookup

[Lindyloowho]

After some terrific help from two kind people yesterday I wonder if I could impose again

Looking for Andrew SMILES born 1807 in Felton, Northumberland and wife Ann born 1811 in Sheepwash, in the 1861 and 1871  census.  They were living in Usworth, County Durham in 1851, with children William, John, Andrew, James, Henry, Hannah and Charles.  I do have them in 1881 and 1891.

Many thanks, Linda

What about Andrew Smales baptised Longframlington 24 Oct 1802, born 4 Oct 1802 son of William Smales and Elizabeth Crosier?

I think the 1861 census says born Northumberland Framlington

Hi Janis
              Thanks for replying funnily enough I have been torn between Smales/Smails for a good while' especially when you know that it really just depended on how the person (doing the census notes ) heard the name and how they would spell names on the forms, my grandmothers family Wharton was wrote as either Whiston/Warton/Werton in various records through history. But I have thought  about Elizabeth crosier & William Smales they acutually stand out for some reason maybe it's because I have came across some of my family who did also emmigrate to Canada later in the 1900's  ' but the spelling of the name is still something I need to verify

There was not really standardized spellings.  Many people illiterate and dependant on those who could read and write--like the vicar.  I know of one parish where the vicar's last name was Stephenson so everyone that last year was Stevenson then became Stephenson.  Even town names were variable--Painshaw, Penshaw, Pensher

So was the Andrew and Ann Smiles you are looking for a miller or a brickmaker?  There is an Andrew and Ann Smailes in 1861 in Morpeth with this Andrew born Wooler and was a journeyman miller.
