No...those Smiths in Yorkshire ring no bells:) However, the info on Samuel is appreciated...and it seems to fit as his older brother William was a shoe and boot manufacturer...as were William's in-laws.
As far as Samuel being a step father...that certainly seems plausible. Boy...she went after young ones:). I need to try to find Emma's parents and have not had much success, as of yet....though using Mary as a pointer may help. Did a quick scan of some areas on the Warwichshire 1841 FreeCEN "Pink Pages" but did not come up with a Mary BEASLEY (55) in any of the areas (Bedworth, Foleshill or Nuneaton) that I know the BRADBURYs and BEASLEYs were.
Thank you again for all the input. OH! and one question Bev, what does "combe abass" mean?
It's amazing how one little bit of info can change your entire direction. It's like the series CSI:).
Best to all...and continued thanks...
Jim
