Hello J

have had a look at my previous Scotlandspeople searches and can't see the death of a Samuel that would fit the child, so aghadoweys find above would seem a good possibility.

Her birth is in civil registrations (July/Sept.1912 Londonderry registration district)- too bad she missed being in 1911 census!

Her dad was a James Smallwoods.........but don't have a mum's name for her......and birth seems to have been Eglinton area, so possibly

http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Londonderry/Tamnaherin/Ballynamore/599041/

which is only about 3 miles from Eglinton itself..

Not sure if you ever got the certificate, J, but here is an update:

Wilhelmena Smallwoods
Birth 15/05/1912 in Lower Cumber, Londonderry, Ireland
Death 29/01/1973

As suspected, she was a daughter of the James and Elizabeth of the census link in previous post.

James Smallwoods and Elizabeth Smallwoods (yes, to her maiden name) married in 1892 in Blantyre. They were not there at 1891 and by 1894 were back in Ireland.

James was son of Samuel Smallwoods and Elizabeth Dallas.
Elizabeth was daughter of Joseph Smallwoods and Eliza(beth) Simpson.

I had a family tree including a James Smallwoods marrying an Elizabeth Smallwoods and this Wilhelmina as a daughter but never knew if, or how, they fit into mine and a relative on this line could never find a marriage cert.  Now we know.  James is my ancestor!

Scotsmum,
Did the parents details come from an actual certificate as he had James' father as Joseph married Elizabeth Simpson?

Deleted. Just noticed that information on 1857 marriage already supplied.
