Thank you for the Maria Elliott correction, there appear to be many errors, transcription and otherwise and now I've just added to it with my William instead of Wisdom (I do actually have him recorded correctly in my database, as Wisdom) .

I've been at this far, far toooooooo long today.

Once again, many thanks

Wisdom and Hannah had (so far):

Edward Smith c.04.12.1786 Watford Nthants

Eunice or Unity c.16.01.1792 Long Buckby Nthants married James Smith

Nathaniel Smith c.20.12.1792 Long Buckby Nthants married Patience

Robert Smith c.13.03.1794 Whitwick Leic married Evening Smith.

Lissy Smith c.1795 Wolvey Wks, 

Salvino Smith c.24.05.1798 Moulton Nott

Bertha/Bethania/Bethany Smith c.24.08.1800 Seaton Rutland married William Gray b.cir 1795. Also married James Mobbs.

Tabitha Smith c.16.11.1803 Cropwell Bishop Nthants married William Gray b.(cant remember did find the bapt) I think 1794 Ashwell Herts s/o Charles & Equally (Aquila).

Salome Smith c.12.07.1807 Irthlingboro Northants married William Smith 1824 Helpston Northants.


Now Wisdom b.1796 Twyford married several times
By Maria Elliott Wisdom had:

Wisdom c.05.06.1818 Benefield Nthants who married Hannah.
Hercules c.20.05.1821 Wansford Nthants
Offa (female) c.20.04.1823 Swayfield Lincs
Maria c.17.12.1826 Nth Witham Lincs
Abigail c.22.03.1829 Castle Bytham Lincs
Matilda c.17.07.1831 Essendine Rutland.

Eunice/Unity and James Smith also had a Wisdom Smith, c.12.11.1812 Woolsthorpe, Lincs, who married Eliza Boswell. Their son Wisdom married Priscilla Bagley.

Hope that helps!

Hi

That's a great help, thank you so much. You have confirmed one other relative that I thought was connected to Wisdom Smith:-

Robert Smith c.13.03.1794 Whitwick Leic married Evening Smith.

As far as I can tell Robert was my great, great, great, great grandfather.

Certainly what appears to be his son, Robert b. 1830 was my great, great, great grandfather as I have his details on his daughter (Lydia/Lida Ingleton Smith's) marriage certificate and it all ties together with the census returns too.

I'd love to know who Evening was but there's nothing about her apart from that she was born about 1801 in Leicestershire according to the 1841 census.

Best Wishes

According to the IGI an Evening Smith was baptised 21.12.1793 at Churchover Warwickshire.

There are no parents names listed on the IGI, but there probably are on the original parish register.

Once again, thank you for that.  I'd come across that name, but given that it gave her surname as Smith, I wasn't sure if it was the right person, as she then married a Smith -  but I guess she could have been from another part of the family.

Dont forget that back in those days especially, intermarriage was the norm for rom families. To them it was keeping the bloodline pure. It does make it interesting trying to draw up complicated family trees though!!

[babygirl101]

You may well be right. I'll do some more searching around that option and see where it leads to !!!!

Many thanks
