Thanks for all the support for the Hunter side - I still have questions but I've applied for some birth and marriage certificates which I hope will fill a few missing links. My request this time is for the other side of the family and here's a beauty - the Smiths!! I'm looking for the parents (and grandparents if possible ??) of Clara Isabella Smith. Her DOB is 3/12/06 born in Sunderland, Durham. I have the marriage certificate and the name of her father was John George SMITH (a publican) who is recorded as "deceased" at the time of the wedding. They were married in 1906 at Sunderland. Children in the family were Bessie Smith 26/12/04 Clara Isabella Smith 3/12/06 Mary Smith c1907 Annie Smith c1909 James Smith c1909 George Smith c1911 Thanks in anticipation Regards Maureen
