Thanks to both of you for your help.
That first burial looks promising until I seen his age and the second burial in East Ardsley seems a long ways away but I will check both of them out.

Thanks again,

I found George's death on the Yorkshire FreeBMD website so I will order the certificate if no one has access to the Parish records.
If no age is given would that mean he was not 1 year old yet?

 On the 1881 census he was listed as a "Boatman"

   Hi,
        If there is anyone who has access to the above parish records could they please check a death entry for me for GEORGE SMITH in 1882. He was born in 1848 in Manchester.
 
  The family lived in Wortley on the 1881 census, George , wife Jane and daughters Jane & Sarah.
I could not find this same family on the 1891 census but I think Jane and the daughters went to the States in 1885. Jane remarried when she arrived in the States so just trying to figure out what happened to the first husband.

  Thanks,

Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Looking for help with a "SMITH"
« on: Sunday 10 March 13 20:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hi,
I'm asking for help to find SARAH SMITH on an incoming passenger list to the States in 1886/87 and again between 1891 and 1900. Sarah was born in Oct. 1883 in Cannock Staffordshire.

She first immigrated to the States in 1886/87 with her family,  mother Sarah who was born 1861 in England, sister Lillian and brothers Frederick & Samuel. This info was found on the 1900 census but again no Immigration or passenger List records found

The family returned to the England before 1891 because they were found on the 1891 census living in Rugeley, Staffordshire. The father Samuel returned to the States just after the 1891 census and the mother Sarah returned the following year 1892 with Lillian, Frederick, Jeannette and Samuel. The above daughter Sarah was not with the rest of the family but on the 1900 Census she is with the rest of the family on Heritmage Ave. in Chicago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
shearg

I believe I also found Sarah's first marriage;

Sarah E. Smith & Edward F. Wayne
Married Nov 24, 1898
Chicago, Cook, Ill.
she was 16 years old

E.E. Wayne died Nov. 13, 1899 Chicago Cook, Ill
He was a Real Estate Salesman and was buried in Council Bluffs, Iowa

Thank-you so much everyone, I'm sure you have knocked down my brick wall. I should have asked this question a few years ago on this List and I wouldn't have gone a stray.

I think I have even cleared up the GREEWOOD name. I found Jane Goodricke PEARCY's death  in 1915  and she was buried at the GREENWOOD Cemetery in Chicago. How that would appear as her maiden name on her daughter's death certificate I'm not sure. We do say funny things in our grief.

Thanks again, I couldn't have done it without your help.

You guys were doing great work while I was typing my last post.

The marriage between Jane & George Smith looks very positive and would explain where the SMITH name comes in on Sarah's marriage certificate to Percy Shearwood.

Then the Marriage between William Pearcy & Jane Goodriche Smith in Cook County in 1892 seems to be right too.

Going another step maybe William Pearcy did marry  a Mary and had children who all died in infancy. He & Jane got together and made the trip to the States. Did people divorce back then in those days or would William just have left Mary?
