Smith and Wilson Families
« on: Tuesday 21 August 12 19:29 BST (UK) »
I would greatly appreciate anyhelp at all with this line.  I located a record for my 2nd great-grandfather, Thomas Smith or spelled Smyth, and found out he was a shoemaker in a place called Boe in the mid-1800's.  He was born in 1837 and was the son of James Smith (shoemaker) and Barbara Wilson. He was part of the Fermanagh Light Militia at 18 and then joined the Royal Scot Fusiliers. He fought in India and then moved to Paisley, Scotland.  I know he was protestant, but I do not know what church he attended.  I would love to be able to locate more information on his family.  His grandparent names, birth date, marriage date of his parents, etc.  I would love to see if I can locate where the family was buried.  I know he married Jane Roper, whom he met in Scotland, and passed away 1887 in Paisley.  Thank you for any information you may be able to help me locate!
