Hi John

Their children included
1924 Iris
1926 John T
1928 Marian

Births Dec 1924 
SMEDLEY    Iris    (Limming)    Peterbro    3b   317    
Births Dec 1926   
SMEDLEY    John T  (Limming)    Peterbro'    3b   305    
Births Mar 1928 
SMEDLEY    Marian  (Limming)    Peterbro'    3b   314

I don't know if this was your man ...

1901 census
Postland, Crowland
William SMEDLEY 59 Foreman on Farm
Marie? (wife) 33
William 1
All born Crowland

If this was SMEDLEY's wedding (but which Maria?), it's interesting there was a LIMMING on the same page.

Marriages Sep 1893
BOUGHEN    Maria        Peterboro    3b   473   
LIMMING    John Thomas         Peterbro'    3b   473    
PEPPER    Maria         Peterbro'    3b   473   
SMEDLEY    William         Peterbro'    3b   473

I can find a Maria PEPPER aged 22 in Crowland in 1891 - perhaps it was her.

The Maria that John T LIMMING married was aged only 27 in 1901.

Hello Geoff
Many thanks for your info. The Maria and John Thomas Limming were my Grandparents. Thanks for the information on William Smedley I think it may be the man I am looking for.

Regards John
