Reservey Reservoy Rizzavoy Rose Elizabeth Smith/Fletcher
« on: Sunday 08 March 09 13:07 GMT (UK) »
I was wondering whether anyone could help us shed some light on the family of Reservoy Smith who 'married' (or possibly never did) Tom (Thomas) Fletcher.

We see her in the 1901 census as Rose Fletcher living with her daughter Annie (actually Damerus which can be spelt a multitude of ways) and her son in law Harry Strickland (actually Hull but thats another very long story)

Reservey died in Worcester in 1922 aged 102.

Her mother also died in Worcester 1908 aged 109. Her mother was Ann (maiden name probably Byles) who was we believe married to John (possibly Shadrack) Smith, one of the sons of Wisdom (b.1786) Smith and Elizabeth Gentle.

We have Damerus's birth certificate which proves her parentage as Revervoy nee Smith and Thomas Fletcher. Other than this and the birth records of two other siblings we have no record of Thomas Fletcher. We can't find him in any census and Reservoy proves hard to track as well.

Reservey had a brother called Nathan and we believe he married a member of the Fletcher family also. However we are slightly unsure of this. Tom Fletcher is described as a brazier tinman on all documents.

Any ideas would be hugely appreciated :D

Hi Tiggi,

Because we have as yet been unable to trace hide nor hair of Thomas Fletcher I haven't been able to link this family in. I suspect they will have something to do with them; perhaps Damaris is Thomas's elder sister. It would certainly be a possibility. I've done a quick search and found Plato c. 3 nov 1839, Edmund c 27 Sept 1935 and Amadine c 16 Oct 1831. Does this tie in with you?

Unfortunately we have no record of Tom's birth or birth place. His wife Reservoy was born around 1820. The first child we have a record of is John christened 1852 in Gloucestershire. Damerus was born 1861 in Alcester.
