By the way - what I said about a Mr. Cheshire dying. Well, maybe there wasn't one. But if you get the birth certificate of one of Clara Smiths children, it should tell you her previous surnames, not just her last surname. I know from my great-great-grandmothers birth certificate that her mother was Jane Lloyd, previously Evans, & born Hargest (Welsh, in case you hadn't guessed). > > From: "Amanda Pickering" <[email protected]> > Date: 2005/03/03 Thu PM 10:47:18 GMT > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ENG-BUCK] RE: CLARA ANN **** WHITCHURCH 1845 > > Fantastic, Paul, thanks so much - I tried finding her on Ancestry and got > nowhere fast.
