« on: Wednesday 24 February 21 20:39 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I have an update on George Oxby Smith and his wives...
George Oxby Smith was born in a tent, Staunton-on-the-Wolds, Notts on the 13 March 1868. On his birth cert his father is given as John Smith a Labourer and his mother as Mary Smith, Previously Smith.
He was Baptised 18 Mar 1868 Staunton-on-the-Wolds, Notts. His father is given as John Smith, mother Maria - Gipsies.
During the 1891 census he is encamped in Checkley, Cheadle, Staffs aged 24 with Ellen Smith (Clayton) 21, Arthur Smith 24, Mary Ann Smith 24 (our direct ancestor and sister of George Oxby Smith) and her child Francis Smith aged 1.
George Oxby Smith died on 5 Feb 1947 at 4 Keswick Street Sneinton, Nottingham. His death was registered by E Doyle, daughter of 4 Keswick Street. She is Ellen Hetty Smith bn 1 Jul 1920, her mother being Agnes White. Ellen Hetty is now the partner of an Andrew Doyle 1915-1980.
George was buried 11 Feb 1947 Wilford Hill Cem, Nottingham in the same grave as Agnes and their son Albert Henry Smith 1925-1955 (he died in Sidcup, Kent).
Ellen Clayton died on 12 Apr 1912 - I think she died having her last child Sidney Smith, on the 1939 Register Sidney Smith says his date of birth is 21 Apr 1912 - I think he has transposed the numbers. Ellen Clayton was buried on the 15 Apr 1912 in the General Cemetery, Nottingham.
George then marries Agnes White on 27 Jul 1912. On the 1939 register Agnes give her DOB as 5 Nov 1893 - Her death certificate says she was born 29 Nov 1892 in Dundee, Scotland. Agnes died on 5 Nov 1971 in Homewell Walk, Nottingham. Her death was registered by E Elliott, daughter - this is the same Ellen Hetty Smith that registered George's death. She is now the partner of Walter/William? Elliott 1920-1962 son of Everett Elliott 1898-1933 and Betsy Elizabeth Woodward 1901-1967.
After George's death Agnes married Arthur Orpe a Night Watch Man 1894-1966 in 1949.
Agnes was buried on the 11 Nov 1971 with George and their son. No other people are in this grave.
Ellen Clayton
I'm wondering if her parents were
Frederick Clayton bn 1829 Wilshaw, Sutton-in-Ashfield
and
Louisa Clayton bn 1828 Berkswell, Warwickshire died 1909 Staffs.
