  • 1901 ... trying to find

    Frederick Percival Smith born 1883 Thurmaston, Leicestershire
    and his brother Harry Smith born 1880

    Parents: George (occ: blacksmith) and Ellen Smith
    Siblings: George Arthur (b1878) and Charles Herbert (b1885)

    1891 Fredk is living with parents and brothers - Thurmaston, Leics

    1911 Fredk (occ: labourer) is living with widowed mother Ellen and brother Charles (occ: blacksmith) - Thurmaston, Leics

    Fredk married in 1912

    Is anyone please able to locate them in 1901? Any help finding these brothers in 1901 will be very appreciated. Thanks

    There's a Frederick Smith the right age in the army in 1901

    BERWICK, Northumberland
    RG13 piece 4845 folio 144 page 7
    Place of birth just Leicester but looking at the others on page (mostly Scots) noone had a very detailed birthplace listed.

      hi Judith - thanks for looking ....
      I recall seeing this one but wondered how at 18 Fred was a lance corporal ??

      I wonder if there is anywhere I can cross-check this e.g. army records ??

        and could this be Harry, also shown as born Leicester. Is Thurmaston far from the county town? It's possible he gave name of a large place which others would have heard of rather than his own smaller parish:

        HUNSLET, Yorkshire
        RG13 piece 4190 folio 55 page 23
        He was a driller in an iron foundry, apparently boarding with one of his work mates.

          Hi Judith ... thanks again

          Thurmaston is just a few miles out of Leicester. I would imagine it was a village at the time we are looking at.

          Will take a look at what you've found. I suppose a foundry worker could be likened to working as a blacksmith ???
