Nudge!!

Any time Marcus :-)

It's a shame we don't have anywhere specific to put these sorts of threads where they will be noticed - I have suggested it more than once but it never happens :-(

Just kep it nudged and 'keep up the good work' !

You might not be noticed by many people but those who you do get to help will be eternally grateful !

Thanks Dea for your kind words - us Smiths do need all the help we can get!!

I have nudged a couple of times already, but will keep on doing so.

Thanks again,

Marcus

Needs to be nudged so people can see it - a very useful offer Marcus - Anyone following Smith families needs all the help they can get ! (Thankfully I don't have any :-D )

Thank you

Hi Jan!!

The parish records are most likely held at BRO - Berkshire Record Office in Reading, but are sometimes held by the church themselves.

Try the Record office first on - www.berkshirerecordoffice.org.uk - or you can call them on 0118 937 5132.

I haven't yet got around to taking copies from these parishes, and probably won't for a while, so do contact the above.

Regards,

Marcus

Marcus me again! could you tell me where parish details from
?Herinetage(perhaps Hermitage) and Woolhampton might be found please.

Nudge - anyone interested??

Absolutely no problem whatsoever!! I am more than happy to help with 'Smith' stuff anytime.

Hope you now find the marriages etc........ Good luck!!

Regards,

Once again Thank You . Smith is not an easy name to search and you have "filled in" some gaps tonight. Will have to see if i can find marriage info for siblings now you have set me on the Smith path again!!
