I have been at my LFS and have discovered on Ancestry a marriage for a Peter Smeaton on 22 January 1890 at Gypsy HillLambeth Surrey to a Mary Louise Beale it is the right age for the Peter I am seeking 44 a widower Metal broker and it states is father Mathew is deceased which concurs with his father Mary is a spinster aged 35 both addresses are the same Hawk Road .How can I prove that this is the correct Peter ?Cheers Jessie
Kirkmichael, It was a copy of the original I saw on Ancestry gave both fathers names witnesses etc. so I don't think I will be able to go any further with him at the moment but never know what is round the corner .
Thanks for your advice I am learning slow but sure.
