Hi Chris and Robert,
Welcome Chris, to Smith Chat, thanks very much for sharing your Smith interests, and yes I'm sure this will be of interest to other Smith researchers in the future if not immediately. Am I correct in thinking that you haven't yet got Thomas and Annette's marriage record?
If you haven't got it yet - it looks as though this is the correct one.........
June Quarter 1879 - Leicester Registration District
GRO ref Vol/page 7a/349
Smith Thomas George W
matching reference for......
Shelton Annette
The marriage certificate, as you'll know, should give Thomas's father's name and occupation, which should then help identify Thomas's correct birth registration.
I'm interested in the Manchester connections to your Smith family for inclusion, at a later date, in the
Smith List of Lancs, WRY & Isle of Man.Chris, it might be beneficial if we move or copy this topic to our
"Other UK Counties" Board, where others researching Smiths of Gloucester, Leicester and/or Kent are more
likely to pick up on it, also with a copy to the
East & South-East Lancashire Board - in view of Manchester.
I'll do that later Chris, if you like, but do you want a copy also retaining here on this Board? (I'm thinking you might have posted it here on the Aus/New Zealand Board because either you live "down under" yourself, or one of your Smith relatives emigrated?)
In any case - we'll chat again soon.
