Well, on his first marriage he was obviously underage and marrying someone several years older than him so he may well have lied??

What are the addresses on the marriage certificates?

1st marriage New George Street Hull
2nd marriage - Goole.

The first marriage uses name Whitehouse to Ann

We have a Geoge Smith who is a cooper and A George Smith who is a barrelmaker living on the same street . George Whitehouse is first a blacksmith.




I just love Smiths.

Looking at Harriet married to Robinson

I have no idea where the Whitehouse comes from , but it has been passed down through the generations. I thought it might have comne through the female line, maybe a maiden name , but no joy yet.

Have fun

Thanks LK,

This is VERY complicated,

We really need to follow through one of those John's to 1861 and find him as a 'sail maker'

I suppose your 'sailor' is a good candidate but also the 'joiner' who I found could have been responsible for making the mast parts of the sails??

There is a LOT of work to do here!!

Thanks everyone,
Smiths are a headache !!!!!!
One of the birth certs I have has 53 New George Street Hull as the address, so I think I'll have to concentrate on that one.

I'll start on other branches next - Williams, Robert and Jones from Wales.
Aaaaarrrggghhhh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dea,
On the 1861 census , living at 53 New George Street is John and Sarah Smith with their 7 children. There is a George but he is only 2 years old !!!
John is a cabinet maker too !!
Strange .

Thanks LK,
I have found a John Smith , cabinet maker, on the 1841 census living at Owen's Square, New George Street, with his mother Elizabeth.
Curiously, living next door is Sarah Lankester, with her mother.
I have a marriage cert which I think is George's parents, and they are John Smith and Sarah Lankester.
If this is John, I have found his mother's name. Yippee.

Sorry Jeb - Have to go off!

Will catch up with you tomorrow - It looks like you are getting somewhere!!
