Hi I had a look among the many Hannah Smiths I have listed and found one born ca 1774. I have her as one of the children of Joseph Smith and Mary Taylor who married at St. Mary, Kingsclere on 1 Apr 1758. Their children are Hannah 1760, Ann 1763, Sarah 1766, Joseph 1767, Mary 1769, Hannah 1774, Martha 1777 and James ca 1779. I don't have any more detail at present on this family. Joseph was a son of John Smith and Mary Churchman who married at St. Mary on 19 Sep 1724 and had the following children:- Joanna ca 1725, Elizabeth ca 1727, Joseph 1730-1738, Mary 1734, Judith 1737-ca 1802 and Joseph ca 1740. It is quite possible that I may have assigned parents to children incorrectly as there is no way to determine this with certainty. With so many of the Smith families have same names and naming children the same all at the same time it is a bit of a nightmare trying to sort them out. However I am fairly sure of the John Smith/Mary Churchman having Judith as a daughter as they are my 6xgt-grandparents. Judith married Robert Buxey and their daughter Judith married Richard Cooper in 1786. I also have in my database: Abraham married at St. Mary 15 on Jul 1794 to Hannah Dore with James bapt. 13 Sep 1795 and Dinah married at St. Mary on 20 Aug 1789 to John Harmsworth with John bapt. ca 1800 who may be siblings of George Vince. --- John Lewis <jayellatntlworlddotcom> from Bournemouth, Dorset, UK. using Debian GNU/Linux and GeneWeb genealogy software Main Family Names in HAM are: Kingsclere: BUTLER, COOPER, FISHER, FOSTER, GIRDLER, HAWKINS, SMITH Hazeley Heath: BARKER, CHANDLER, LEWINGTON, NEVILL(E) Main Family Names in GLA are: GRIFFITH, HOPKINS, JENKINS, LEWIS.
