I am trying to help an Australian correspondent with her Bristol families. The marriage of Thomas SMITH and Emily Jane KANE was registered in the March quarter of 1879 in Bristol. Te birth of their daughter, Hannah Eliza M. C. SMITH, was registered in Barton Regis in June 1888. I've been told that Hannah's father was Thomas William Smith born 1853, a labourer from Westwickham, Buckinghamshire. I couldn't find Thomas and Emily Jane SMITH on my 1881 census CD for the Southwestern Region. Have I missed them or weren't they living in Bristol at this time? Can anyone give me their location, please? I would be also grateful for 1891 census details of the SMITH family, who may or may not have been in Bristol at this time, so that I can find out the age and birth place of Emily Jane and possibly trace the KANE family further back. Any answers to the list, please, so that my correspondent can see them in the B & S archives. Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com

Hi Josephine I have had no luck finding them in 1881 as yet. There do not appear to be any likely Hannah Eliza's with parents Thomas and Emily. However: In 1891 this is the closest I can find: RG12/1981, page 16, folio 99 36 Twinnell Rd, St Philip & Jacob Thomas SMITH, head, M, 37, Stationary Engine Fireman, born Oxford, High Wycombe Emily ", wife, M, 29, born Bristol Emily M ", Daur, S, 6, born Bristol Maude ", Daur, S, 3, born Bristol Thomas W ", son, S, 1, born Bristol and in 1901 the above couple are still in Bristol: RG13/2384, page 7, folio 58 61 Old Bread St, St Philip & Jacob Thomas SMITH, head, M, 47, labourer [pencil mark "Brewery", born Wycombe Bucks Emily ", wife, M, 38, trousers machinist, born Bristol Emily ", dau, S, 16, trousers machinist, born Portland Dorset Maud ", dau, S, 12, school, born Bristol Thomas ", son, S, 11, school, born Bristol this presumes that Hannah Eliza MC was known as Emily M, and the Portland Dorset may be a red herring also, given the previous entry. Thomas's wife, nee Emily Jane KANE, might be the daughter of William KANE and wife Eliza, who were in Twinnell Rd in 1871: RG10/2564, page 24, folio 57 4 Twinnell Rd, St Philip & Jacob William KANE, Head, Mar, 34, labourer, born Dauntsey Wilts Eliza ", wife, mar, 30, wife, born Ditcheat Somerset Frederick James ", son, 10, born St Philip & St Jacob Bristol Emily Jane ", dau, 8, born St Philip & St Jacob Bristol William Ashford ", 4, born St Philip & St Jacob Bristol if this is the correct family, Emily Jane would have been about 16 at marriage.

Hi Josephine I think this is Thomas in 1861 {RG9/862 Folio 72 Page 1}with his family they were all born Saunderton Buckinghamshire which comes within Wycombe Registration District. He was still with his family in 1871.
