Hi JulesSmith, I'm Paul and Richard Smith was my wife's direct ancestor. I think I have found out about as much about him as you, but I'm stuck on getting back beyond John Smith.

And thanks to the other contributors @hanes teulu and @ bessingby to this thread, I've also found your info about Richard Smith really useful!

 Maybe not related, but I have a William Stephenson born Doncaster 1814. In 1838 he married Mary Scott at Cottingham (just north of Hull). This family moved to Canada in 1854 ... in the 1851 census he if found at Stoneferry in E Yorks .. wheel wright. Sometimes the name got spelled Stevenson
William Stephenson - born 1814 at Doncaster West Yorkshire - married Mary Scott at Cottingham East Yorkshire (Hull) in 1838. Williams parents I believe were another Wm Stephenson and an Alice Carter - married Cantley Parish W Yorks (Doncaster) in 1811..... Other east riding names are Nicholls (Bridlington, Yorks and Wigan Lancs.) and the surname Withernwick.
