My 2 x great grandmother is a Smith ...

Sarah Mason Smith born in Halifax, Yorks abt 1844

Can't find her birth certificate though :(

She married George Horrocks.  Horrocks seems to be Lancashire's answer to Smith !!  ;D

Mine married in, a great grand mothers, sisters, daughters husband (and the thing is I know that you all can figure out that relationship in a second but if I said that to my husband his eyes would glaze over)

Just said it to him and he said and I qoute " your what now?"

I married a Smith and didn't think that I would find any in my family but did  :o

My 3 x Great Granny Isabella Smith on my dad's side, born 1783 in Birse, Aberdeenshire.

Now I think that I've found another one on my mum's side...have still to look further into that  ::)

What a great name Kerry, Lovekin, I'm stunned with a name like that that you can't find her family.

I've only got one Smith - she was from Kircudbrightshire (or the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, to be exact  :) ). I'll get to her line soon. She married into my Carson line way back in the 1700s
