Emily Amelia SMITH c1818
« on: Monday 16 May 11 12:44 BST (UK) »
Can anyone please help me trace the parent(s) of Emily Amelia Smith?

She married John Sorrell in 1839 in Gt Waltham.  The entry in the parish register gives her name as Amelia Smith but does not give her fathers name.  The marriage took place in the presence of William Emmers & Charlotte Sorrell (his sister).  His father is given as John Sorrell (Butcher).

The CR's from 1841 -61 give her as Emily but in 1871 she is recorded as Emily Amelia.  Her death was recorded in the BMD Index in the MarQ 1874 as Emily Amelia Sorrell age 56.

Many thanks
Keziah

ps.  I should have also said she staes she was born in Gt Waltham on the CR's.

Ann Smith's parents were Arthur Smith (widow) and his second wife Sarah Gipson married 20 September 1797 at Great Waltham. Witness William Gipson.
Arthur' first wife was Mary Groves married 2 May 1774 witness Thomas Sheppherd, William Adams and Sarah Clarke. reg. number 180.
It looks like Ann Smith married 15 September 1823 Thomas Hawkes both single of the parish. witness Isaac Gipson and Richard Tyrell. Reg. number 140.
