I have been able to see the family register of John Smith. It includes his parents Thomas Smith and Sarah Smith. Given below is what was included in the register for the family. It seems to indicate that John was the first child born in Chard that the older children and even parents were born in Wareham. They must have only been in Chard a short while because younger siblings were born in Winsham. Consulting the on-line baptism records from Wareham I think that Sarah Smith was the daughter of George Smith and Lydia Northover. The parish records on-line for Wareham and Winsham are great and I can find most of the children and even some marriages for these children. I find it odd that John's baptism is not recorded, but maybe there is a gap in the logs.
Thank you so much for looking for him for me. I really appreciate it.
I cannot believe how much I have been able to find on these families with the help from all of you who have posted information and sentme records! This is awesome.

This is rest of the information from the family register. It contains the information on John Smith's family and a bit about three of his sisters. I have added some notes on what I have found in the parish registers participants of this topic have suggested. This has been so helpful in helping me find details about this family. Thank you all so much.

The register then has blank pages each headed with information which seemed to indicate that the children of Thomas and Sarah Smith were to be entered in the remainder of the book.
Daniel Hunt
Mary Smith
Married
Their children
[note Wareham records on-line indicate Daniel Hunt married Mary Hine Smith 12 Jun 1828 in Wareham. They are in the 1851 census in Thorncombe. In 1861-1881 Daniel is in census as widower. Mary probably died in Thorncombe between 1851-1861]
Joseph Hammond
Sarah Smith
Married
Their Children
[note: Sarah Smith is in the 1841 census with her family in Yeovil. Her husband Joseph is a glover and they have four children. His brother John is with them in 1841 and 1851. In 1851 Joseph appears as a Glove Manufacturer . In 1861 they cannot be found in census but Joseph’s brother John Hammond is listed as a visitor in the home of George and Elizabeth Picford. Elizabeth is Sarah Smith Hammond’s sister. Elizabeth Hammond, daughter of Joseph and Sarah Smith Hammond, was 8 in 1841 census. It is her death that is written in the register below the family of Thomas Smith.]
William Loaring
Lydia Smith
Married
Their Children
[Note: from Winsham records online Lydia Smith married William Loaring 9 Oct 1832 in Winsham. I could not find either of them in the 1841 census. There are two young Loaring children, James and Emma, enumerated with Elizabeth and George Pickford in the 1841 census. James Loaring is still with them in 1851 aged 16 he is listed as an organist and teacher of music. He is found there again in 1861, same profession.]
