Hello to all Smiths.
I am not a Smith but I have information which a Smith or Smith descendant may find useful. In 1864 my grandmother's sister, Mary Morrison b1839, married Arthur Smith b1837 a tailor of Grove House, Claypots Lane in Leeds.They had ten children, Arthur b1865, Mary E b 1866, Isabel b1868, Maggie b1869, Edward b 1873, Harry b 1875, Halliwell b 1877, Letitia b1879, Robert b1880 and Benjamin b1882. Children all born in Leeds.
As Irish genealogy is difficult to trace I am more than happy to supply information on Mary Morrison's family.

Regards
Kingskerswell

Hello Kingskerswell and Happy New Year!

This information is valued. Thank you for sharing it.
As you'll have realised by now, your original post now split from the January Noticeboard & moved here to the Ireland Board.

For the interest of our members researching SMITH families of the Leeds area of West Riding Yorkshire, a copy also quoted to the West Riding Yorkshire Board:
Topic >> Arthur Smith b1837/m in Leeds, Mary Morrison(Irish descent)

Sorry kingerswell - just realised, I had posted the WRY copy topic in error on the East Lancashire Board!! Now corrected my error and renewed the link in my post above.

I was just wondering if Arthur Smith was actually born in Leeds? or was he from Ireland as well?

Carole,
I believe that Arthur Smith was born in Leeds and his father was Edward and his mother Maria.

Hi kingskerswell,

Thanks for that, and I've added a copy of the additional
data for Arthur, on the related WRY Board Topic.
