Hi Shirley: If I had to guess, it would be that Annie is his second wife, and that she was previously married to a SLAUENWHITE, as there is no sign of a William SMITH/Annie SLAUENWHITE marriage in any records that I have had access to, either on-line or off-line. -----Bob H----- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shirley" <salane@eastlink.ca> To: "Bob Hegerich" <bobh36@cox.net> Cc: <NOVA-SCOTIA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 6:13 PM Subject: Re: [NS-L] William Francis SMITH of Bald Rock > Is it possible that either the Gray or Slauenwhite surnames was from a > previous marriage/ I have run into this a number of times Where the > marriage register shows the brides previously married surname rather than > her birth name > Shirley > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "John Cordes" <John.Cordes@dal.ca> > To: "Bob Hegerich" <bobh36@cox.net> > Cc: <NOVA-SCOTIA-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Thursday, June 07, 2007 6:53 PM > Subject: Re: [NS-L] William Francis SMITH of Bald Rock > > >> Hi Bob, >> >> I guess it goes without saying that you didn't find a >> marriage registration for Wm.
