Hi Denise, Thank you so much for the'51 census for George & Hannah Smith & family.That has saved me precious time at the library tomorrow afternoon ; I can concentrate on other aspects of that family eg.Blackburn Register MIs. Hannah must have almost been a child-bride ! Christened in 1807 [but that's no indication of actual birth date],and marr.in 1823 !! I wonder what the PC register says about that. The next hurdle to clear is----which of the innumerable Abrahams was her father ? Maybe the answer will be in Kim's wonderful database.How about it Kim ? Which Abraham marr.Betty Oddy ? Cheers---------Derek.1
