I am trying to identify the widow, Elizabeth Smith, born 1834 Monckton Combe who, in 1871 & 1881 was at Ivy Cottages there with three children. The 1841 census there has an Elizabeth Watts age 7 with her parents William, an aglab, and his wife Ann. In 1851 that Elizabeth was 16 and living in, in service, in another house in Monckton Combe. That census shows William Watts & Ann there with their own children AND "twins, Ellen Smith and James Smith aged 1 year, born Walcot, Somerset". The 1861 census shows Elizabeth Watts 26, single, at home with William & Ann. No twin Smiths were there. In 1863 a William Smith married an Elizabeth Jane Watts in the Bath area. There is no indication of their identities but it seems likely that the twin Smiths may have been the illegitimate children of Elizabeth Watts who later on married William Smith, who obviously died before the 1971 census took place. I would be extremely grateful if someone could please identify the widow Elizabeth Smith, and perhaps see if the twin Smiths had been baptised. Joe Emery. Ox.FHS member 1391
