[COMPLETED] John Smith (shoemaker) of HALSTEAD, ESSEX

[mousequakes]

Hi,

I've hit a brick wall with a shoemaker named John Smith (abt 1818-) of Halstead. He's in the 1851 Census at 27 High Street, Halstead, with his wife Susan (abt 1818-) and several children, the first of which - John Smith - was born about 1836. But no trace of John Smith Sr or his wife in the 1841 Census or after 1851. Most likely John and Susan married about 1835/36. I've checked the IGI collection Essex Parish Registers, 1538-1900 without success - perhaps it doesn't include the Halstead registers?.

I'd like to know the maiden name of John's wife Susan and when they married. I'd also like to identify their parents if possible - the 1851 Census suggests both John Smith and Susan were born in Halstead around 1818.

Many thanks

Hi I am wondering if your John Smith could be a brother to my Sarah Jane Smith born 3 March 1816 in Halstead and who married John George Skinner on 12 Oct 1834 in Halstead. The are my 3rd g grandparents and migrated to Sth Australia in 1840 on the 'Orleana' Any info would be great. I have a very extensive tree on ancestry but am stuck on Sara Jane Smiths family.
