Hi Oldbear

The possible daughter Eliza shows on IGI (submitted entry) as born in 1852 in Kettle, marrying a John Farmer on 16 NOV 1880 in Falkland, Fife.

The 1861 census transcript, with Eliza's age badly transcribed:

William Smart 37
Ann Smart 29
Eliza Smart 17
Barbara Smart 7
John Smart 3
Hellen Smart 1

Address: Artoy Lodge,, Kettle

Monica  :)

Hi Again,

For those who are interested in the Smart family I have been relatively successful.

If you have an account for Ancestry.com, look under JoeMel99 for the family tree that I have started.

There is over 2000 people so far.

I am now trying to identify a "Mr. Boodie" (from Ireland), who may have been either Margaret's first husband or a lover. I have not been able to look at the census yet, for the area, to determine if I even have the right spelling for the gentleman's name.

Margaret had a child by the name of Donald Grant Smart (b. 1890) from this relationship.

She later married David Smart. Both David (b. 1870) and Margaret (b. 1866) moved to Western Canada to live with their son Donald and Lillian (nee Andews).

David and Margaret lived out their lives in Canada.


Enjoy your search.

Thanks Monica and Joe, I will have a look at the Ancestry tree (I'm not a subscriber so I hope I can still see it?).
