Please can you tell me how many kids Arabella Wyke 1755-1849 Shropshire and William Smith had please..I have one William 1791 who married Susannah Thompson1795 and they went on to have John in 1816, who married Sarah ? who had my great grandfather Samuel Smith Darlaston1848.
My DNA matches are pointing to Smith family that I don't have.
Have I gone wrong somewhere?
Many thanks for help.

Go back to the last one you know about.
There isnt any samuel smith registered as b darlaston 1848. (Walsall district)
There are a few in dudley. Mmn shaw, foster, stringer, elwell, (blank) and rickward.
Are there any other siblings to the 1848 samuel to narrow the mmn and look for his parents marriage?
The only samuel b 1848 i can see before marriage has a mother called Jane?
