help?? (Please)
I am trying to locate forfathers of my SMITH family, originating from Kington.
I have found them (the main family members) on the census returns, but I can't go further back than that (1841) - they are pretty illegible too !!
James SMITH (1811) married Janes (JONES) (1811). They had William (1834), John (1836), Thoms (1838), George (1840) - up until this point they lived in Castle Hill, Kington - 1841 census. They went on to have: Elizabeth (1834), Henry (1847), Charles (1849) and lived in Brilley, Bradnorshire, Presteigne (1851 census) They then had: Catherine (1851), Arthur (1853) and finally Jane (1855) and lived in Floodgates, Presteigne - on the 1861 census
Their Son John (1836) married an Elizabeth Muscott/Mascott/Muskett, and had John (1857), James (1859)* this is my G/grandfather. They lived in Montfod Place, Kington in 1861. They went on to have: Thomas (1862), Jessie (1865), Elijah (1867), William (1870), Annie Elizabeth (1874). They all lived in Mill Street, Kington.
If ANYONE is a relative of any of these I would love to hear from you.
I am desperately trying to go further back than the 1841 census to find more about James and Jane (1811). If anyone can help I would be grateful.
Many many thanks
Elaine
