Hi,
I have posted for help with this before but I was hoping someone may have som new ideas on how I can trace my 3x grt Grandfather George Smith further back.
George Smith married my 3x grt Grandmother Emma Stevens December 1917 at Nottingham registry office. The details for George from the marriage cert are:
George Smith, widdower, aged 45, coal miner, living in Lenton Notts, father: John Smith deceased general labourer.
The witnesses were Arthur Goulding and Florence Shaw. I have tried to see if either of the witnesses were a relation to George but I can't seem to find any connection. There is a Florence Smith born 1878 Hickling Notts, who married a Joseph Shaw. Florence's family are living in Lenton Notts on the 1901/1911 census. I can't find any connection between Florence and George.
I know from older relatives that George had 2 sons from a previous marriage, John George (Jack) and Walter, but unfortunately they don't know how old they were.
On the 1911 there is a George Smith born 1875 Notts with wife Annie and sons Walter aged 6, Jack aged 4 and George aged 2. George's occupation is a collier (Butty) at Radford colliery.
Annie was born 1875 Shardlow derbyshire and the 1911 states they had been married 12 years, had 5 children and 2 had died.
I can't find a possible for Annie and George on the 1901.
Any help or advice would be truly appreciated.
Kelly.
