Hi,
I have posted about my 3x Great Grandfather, George Smith, before but I am hoping that someone may have some fresh ideas on how I can trace George further back.
At the moment I think it may be impossible to trace George further back because I only have a little information about him and that is from his marriage certificate.
Here is the info:
George Smith married my 3x grt Grandmother Emma Stevens 1917 at Nottingham registry office. George Smith was 45 a widdower, his occupation was a coal miner. His father is named as John Smith (deceased) and his occupation is a general labourer. The witnesses were a Arthur Goulding and Florence Shaw. I think Florence may have been a Smith, but I can find no connection to George. I have traced her through the census.
Emma Stevens was a widow, she was born in Lincolnshire but moved to Nottingham with her first husband who was from Nottingham. Emma's first husband was killed in action during ww1.
Some of my elder relatives told me that George had two sons from his first marriage and their names were Walter and John George (Jack) Smith. But they don't know any more info about them like their year of birth or birth place.
I have tried to see if George was living at the address on marriage cert on the 1911 but unfortunately he wasn't.
If anyone can offer any help or advice it would be truly appreciated.
Kelly.
