Sept 1874 marriage notice for Peter Smeaton (of Cádiz) and Elizabeth Morrison, daughter of the late James Morrison, Auchterarder (?) There are 1915 newspaper obits for a Peter Smeaton in Scotland.

Two additional births in Huelva, Spain 1876-1880:
Charles Smeaton and Lizzie Morrison Smeaton.
Also, a Thomas Smeaton born in Huelva 1901-1905.

Question: What is Peter Smeaton's occupation on his son's 1899 marriage certificate?

Thanks that might possibly be the death I'm looking for for Matthew James.

Peter Smeaton and Elizabeth Morrison married 2/09/1874 in the Church of Holy Trinity, in Gibraltar so that fits with marriage notice you've found.  Elizabeth's father was listed as Jose Morrison and no mention on being deceased but that doesn't really matter one way or the other.  Peter was also born in Auchterarder so that also ties in that they knew one another from home.  Where did you find the newspaper obits for Peter Smeaton 1915?  I only have limited access with Ancestry at the moment.

Yes I found the first two children you mention along with another daughter whose birth I can't find anywhere but she too is listed as  born in Corrales, Huelva and the relationship to her siblings tracks.  I've not found any mention of Thomas so I'll look further into that.

Elizabeth Morrison died in 1888 in London and Peter married again in 1890 London and is at that time listed as a "merchant"on his second marriage certificate.   On the 1889 marriage of Matthew, Peter was listed as a metal broker.  Everything seems to connect to the Rio Tinto mining community in Huelva.

Thanks for the information.

Hi,

No this isn't my Peter.  I'm pretty sure of his background being born 1844 Auchterarder, Perthshire  to Matthew Smeaton (Smitton) and Margaret Callum.

Thanks

Cheers, I don't have access to that.  I'll maybe try and take out a sub for a month when I have a bigger list of things to look for.
