I am searching for the family of Lewis Carmichael Smith (1844-1904) who married twice. His wives were first cousins, Charlotte Byers (1850-1878), daughter of Joseph Byers and Charlotte Lee. His second wife was Elizabeth Lee (1854-?), daughter of George Lee and Elizabeth Norton. The family lived in Glenelg Township and then moved to the Tilbury area where Lewis died. His wife, Elizabeth, and the family moved to Toronto. The family consisted of 1. Charlotte from the marriage of Lewis and Charlotte b. 1878 - nothing else known 2. Elizabeth "Lizzie" Ann born 1883 married Fred East. She wrote my grandmother until 1964 from Toronto. Had one daughter. 3. Mary Selena born 1885 4. Jane "Jenny" Olive born 1887 5. Robert Lewis born 1889 9. David Mackenzie born 1894 By 1962, only Bob and Lizzie were alive. I have Census records to 1911 for the family as well as birth for the children as well as marriage records for Lewis. Any information on the above family would be appreciated. Sincerely Carol Small

Hi: Soldiers of the First World War Names: SMITH , DAVID MCKENZIE Regimental number: 2005800 Rank: SPR Reference: RG 150, Accession 1992-93/166, Box 9026 - 25 Born: 01/04/1894, Grey County, Ontario Address: 153 Emerson Avenue, Toronto Next of Kin: Elizabeth Smith, same address, mother Marital: Single Occupation: Asst.

M. Smith, 153 Emerson Avenue (brother David?), Inez M. Wilson?, 194 Margaretta Street, Toronto Reg. #004348 I did not find any other marriages up to and including 1922 but the years 1923 and 1924 are now available at the LDS family history centres so perhaps other family members married in those years, or later. Since you have a street address in 1922 for the family, you might be able to trace how long they lived there by asking a reference librarian to look at the Toronto City Directories for, say, 1923, 1924, 1925 (they will look up 3 years at a time), wait a week or so, and ask for 3 more years 1925, 1926, 1927, and so on, to see if they stayed at that address: Click on Ask us Online how, under the heading Virtual Reference Librarian: http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/ask_index.jsp Give them the address and the names of the family members. Without the address, "Smith" might be impossible to trace! Marg in Sunny Alberta Roy and Carol Small wrote: >I am searching for the family of Lewis Carmichael Smith (1844-1904) who >married twice.
