Kaoota

I can't help you with descendants of Thomas and Martha Smith, but I do have a copy of a book published in 1936 called Roll of the Mayors and Lord Mayors of Leicester 1209-1935 which gives a brief biography of each one, including Thomas Smith, Mayor in 1907.  I would be happy to send you a scan or photocopy of his entry if you don't have it already and PM me with your email address or postal address.

Hello Laura,

Thanks for your reply. It has been many years since I posted and I had almost given up on  finding more about the descendants of Thomas and Martha. Martha was the sister of my late husband's great great grandfather, and I (as family historian) have been researching the family for about 35 years, and have quite an extensive Withington tree. We have photo of Thomas and Martha and Family.

I would be happy to share my tree and if you care to fill me in on Martha's descendants You can contact me off line at  lwithing@bigpond.net.au

Greetings, Yvonne

Just found this today. I’m also a descendant as he was my great great grandfather (my great grandfather was Harry Alexander Smith, my grandmother Edna Smith).

I’ve sent you an email Yvonne

Laura - great that you have some of his things. I have just found a photo of him which he sent to his Grandaughters Edna and Dorothy (hand written message on back)

Thanks

Jeremy
