I was thinking about how few contacts I have in my Smith family & inparticular, the lack of actual Smiths. I looked at my ggg grandfather's family & realised that of his 5 sons, only 1 had children that I know of, & he is my diret relative. Three of the others died young & the fourth goes missing after 1881. So I was wondering if anyone could help me find out what happened to the missing son.
His name was John Free Smith born 21/2/1863 at Tetney Lock in Lincolnshire.In 1871, he was in Tetney with his family (DOB 1864) & in 1881 he is visiting in Driffield with his sister Rebecca (his place of birth listed as Barton Lincs). But after that, he vanishes& I have been unable to trace him. His father & sister Agnes were in Barton in 1881 & Rebecca was also with them in 1891, but no sign of John.
Can anyone help me trace him?
