My Great Grandfather was JAMES SMITH .. he was one of 8
Annie Elizabeth (1873)
William (1870)
Elijah (1866)
Jessie (1864-1872)
John (1857)
Thomas (1861)
he married Mary HOMER. Mary is the Daughter of Benjamin HOMER. She was one of 10
Charlotte (1849-1861)
Alice Maria (1852)
Lucy (1854)
Ellen (1857)
Mary (1859)
Benjamin George (1864-1946)
Emma (1862)
Charlotte (1867)
Florence (lived in Calcutta, and had her ashes brought back to Kington in 1931) I know nothing other than this little snippet, so ANY additional informaion REALLY would be appreciated.
I have quite a bit of information on the HOMERs, but know nothing about the SMITH side.
I DO know that James's Father was John Smith (b: c1836) to Elizabeth Muscatt (spelling varies on different entries)
Johns father was James SMITH (b: c1813), married to a Jane Jones
All the Smiths appear to be from Kington, with one or 2 children being born in Presteigne ....
I hope there is someone out there that can fill in the gaps
Thanks very muchly ....
