Hi Annette

Thank you for your research into William. Sorry to be so long in replying but I have been scouring the web looking for decendents of Harriet Mary Smith without any success. I found her and parents (James and Sarah) and four siblings but no record of her children. I am dependent on the Mormon Church data on the Family Search website.

In the family history prepared by my cousin, Don, there is scant info on her - she was identified as just Harriet so I am contacting him for further detail. He did indicate that William had 3 siblings (Amy, Doris and George) but I can find no record of them.

If you have online record from another source I would love to know the link.

Hi

I am searching for a Harriet Smith (1857-1925) who married Joseph Grant (1856-1919). They lived in Bermondsey and probably were married there. So many Smiths that it's difficult!

Thank you for any info.

Excuse my typo - he was William Joseph Grant and our family record by one of my cousins indicates his birth date of 1881. This is also the date on the 1911 Canada Census record for Will (as he was called by the family).
Will and Lucy went by ship to Canada and were married in May 1907 in Montreal. Our records indicate Will's parents, Joseph (1856-1919) and Harriet Smith (1857-1925), had four children, George (sea captain) Amy, Doris and William. Will and Lucy had four kids. My mom, Vera, was one of them.
So it is possible the two Williams might be different people. I do have pictures of him but never met him since he left my grandmother and went to Montreal in the 1920's.

Hi

It's the William Joseph Smith born in 1881 - he emigrated to Canada in 1907. He then married Annie Lucy Randall. Our family record indicates his mother was Harriet Smith - no middle name. So we wonder if she was Harriet Mary Smith

Hello
My Great Grandfather, Joseph Grant:

Joseph Grant
1856 – 1919    •    LBBY-L2S​​

is likely the husband of Harriet Mary Smith 1857-1925 but I am still trying to find their marriage - about 1880 - in any official record. If correct, Harriet would be the mother of my Grandfather, William Joseph Grant 1881-1961. Since Grant and Smith are such common names I would like to confirm the ID.  Any info would be appreciated.
