Lily Smith who marries William John Gregory of Shillington
« on: Monday 25 May 20 10:30 BST (UK) »
Lily Smith is the daughter of Aaron Smith and Emma Seabrook who marry at St Michael's, Aspley Heath 7th June 1876 .

Aaron and Emma then go on to baptise seven children at St Michael’s:

Mary Ann 3 April 1877
Harry 6 Oct 1878
Alfred 6 Nov 1881
Frederick Charles 12 May 1885
Lily 20 Mar 1887
Jane Maria 2 Dec 1888
Sarah Ann 3 Aug 1890

1891 Census Lily is at home with the family.

Mum Emma dies in 1923 and Dad Aaron in 1944.

I haven't tracked her down yet on the 1901 or 1911 censuses but 
she appears to marry William John Gregory of Shillington at St Michael’s 16th September 1912.

I haven’t managed to find any children for them or either of them after that date so far but with a name like Smith another pair of eyes may spot something I haven't.

Can anyone find Lily for me please in 1901, 1911 or after her marriage?

Many thanks for any help.

Many thanks everyone - I shall investigate these further.

I said I needed another pair of eyes on these Smiths - as she was baptised Lily I didn't think to look for her as Lillian.

Thanks again.

Yes thanks - I also have her baptism. Her parents were Emma Seabrook and Aaron Smith.
