looking for Sister and family of Francis Smith (1907, leeds W.Yorkshire)

[Marmitch]

I am looking for the family of Eileen Mary Smith born Leeds 1909. Her brother Francis died in WW2, and his family subsequently lost touch with the Smith side of the family. I am not sure if she married and had children, and if so what became of them.
Their father James William Smith(born 1880) married Margaret Ann Hughes in 1906 (leeds). I have found him in the 1881 census, but he (along with his father James) disappears from the records until 1906 (marriage). Has anyone any suggestions as to why this may be the case. his mother (Mary) and his siblings are still listed in the 1891 census. I would be interested if anyone has any information on these individuals (Thomas 1873/4, Esther 1876 and Peter Smith 1879)
Many thanks

Perhaps someone could check if she is the one going to New York and crossing the boarder from Canada.

Thankyou for the information Suzard. It has opened up a new line of research.
Thakyou also Jennifer. if this is the same Eileen, it explains why there are seemingly no family members left in Leeds.

Hello There

The Eileen Mary Smith, who is sailing to New York in 1936, was acrually from Colne in Lancashire, and is sailing with her entire family, I am afraid.

Me Again

I am sure that you have Esther's death. She was buried at Killingbeck Catholic cemetery in Grave 2436

Peter did marry, Annie Eliza Drake, they had one son, Leonard in 1900, If I am correct, Peter died in 1925, age 46. He was also buried at Killingbeck , Grave 18811.
