The only info I really need is anything on his father,Thomas Smedley, Sr. The whole family was told that he died in 1851, but he actually sailed to the US with his son and daughter in law. I have not been able to find anything on Thomas Sr, after he arrived in the US. I was hoping that he would have been living with his son in New Jersey, but they are not listed in the 1860 census. He was a brickmaker. Leslie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
