>>The Descendents of John and Mary Smith>>

Looking now at the Isle of Man connection.

As shown within the descendency document,
one of the sons of John and Mary Smith was
Ebenezer Ralph Smith, born Ireland. He became
a partner in Capes and Smith, Estate Agents,
Manchester. His home was in Prestwich at the
time he died, 31 May 1851 at Lytham St Annes.
Buried at All Saints, Chorlton on Medlock.

He married twice, and his second marriage was
to Frances Dunn, 3 April 1831 at Prestwich.
They had a son, Ebenezer George Smith,
born 28 April 1839. Following the death of
Ebenezer Ralph Smith, Frances remarried to
Patrick Starkey at Braddon in the Isle of Man,
and died 3 October 1860 and is buried there.
Her husband was some 20 years her junior.
