Hi Listers, Calling all Gloucestershire related Smith's to please check your records for any Frederick, Elizabeth, Caroline, Ann or better yet Clement Smiths in your line. If so contact me ASAP ;-) Clement should definitely stand out like a sore thumb. There aren't many on any records that I've had access to. Therefore, if you have one in your line, Great Uncle, Grandfather distant cousin or whatever, and if he resided anywhere near or around Priory Road then I'd say that was a BINGO hit! I've gone through so many methods to try and find the info on my grandmother, Caroline Smith and I keep coming up empty handed. Suspicions are either she is under her mother's maiden name Swan or she was by another father and therefore I'll be chasing my tail until doomsday! However, if any Smith's between Gloucestershire and Wiltshire who are doing research has heard tales in their family lines of any of these names do not assume it doesn't apply to you. My elusive Smith and Swan families can hide forever? ;-) Other possible connected names: Hibbered, Wheeler, Bennett, Bick, Jones/Johns? Esther Fetsko Can we plead/barter/bribe/beg ect for the UK to release their 1911 census sooner? This is crazy???????????????? One glance at that and it would save me so much money, time and headaches.... Caroline nee *Smith (Swan) ?* Birth: May 17th, 1905 Place: 121 Lower Westgate Street, Gloucestershire Parents: Edgar* Smith*-DOB:1860-DOD1948, Elizabeth *Swan,* Unk Sibling: Frederick G.*Smith*, DOB:Nov 4th,1912, Priory Rd. Gloucestshire St. Nicholas Church Marriage: December 31,1930, Swindon, Wiltshire Spouse: Reginald *Platt*, DOB:1903-DOD:1959 Caroline Smith attended a convent of some sorts to train as a scullery maid She had a passport and traveled to Australia twice and U.S dozens of times. She received a pension, but had no drivers license. No known church affiliation? there are literally only five Caroline Smith in Gloucestershire between the years of 1908 to 1911 and four Caroline Swan's between 1895 and 1903. Does anyone think I should do an inquire on these particular ones even though I had already paid and done an inquiry through the GRO for some of these? I just need to go through the process of elimination before I go on another path so I can determine if Elizabeth Swan was indeed her mother and or her surname at birth. aahahahahahahah I've already searched all the possible available records and came up with variations that just spin me further into a tail chasing circle. Edgar Smith, 1861 census: (age 2, w/parents: Silvanus Smith & Emma Bick, 21 Westgate St. Gls) "coincidentally" " " 1881 census: married to Ann Bennett, Gls. " " 1891 census: Undetermined " " 1901 census: Undetermined Elizabeth Swan 1891 census:(adopted niece, age 16 w/ Mary Fones/Jones, Bristol) "Unverified" No other information has been verified.

It will begin in 2009 - apparently big cities first then towns then villages see http://www.1911census.co.uk/ Anne
