Thank you again folks, even more confused! Why did I have to be from a family of Smiths! Doesn't make this easy! I know they lived at Mill Hill Farm for sure but not sure about the other places. :-S |

I think you may have slipped a generation. Assuming this is the birth of your father |

Still confused!! Not sure if there is 2 James Smith's in the same area! 1841 has The whole family William & Elizabeth & 8 children @ Wick House, 1851 has William,Elizabeth+4 children James not being one of them @ Hawk Inn, but also another page has the Hawk Inn again in 1851 with a Mann Family living there(Hawk Inn) with James as a lodger! 1861 Willaim & Elizabeth+grandson living at Hoe lane. 1871 Has William,Elizabeth + James(unmarried). I know my grandad Harry Smith was born in 1870, so I can understand maybe they wasn't married but does this mean they wasn't living togther either? Where is he in 1861? |

Daniel - are you sure he is your grandad and not your great grandad? For him to be your father's father i.e. your grandad, Florence would have to be dead, he would have to have remarried to Constance and would be 71 at the time of Reginald's birth! |

Daniel, There's only the one James Smith born around 1820 from Rettendon. The one in the 1871 census living as a lodger is your one. |

Sorry yes my mistake it was meant to be 1795. They was Married 19/11/1811 - All Saints, Rettendon. If they are from out of the Rettendon area and move into the area is there any way of tracing where they have come from? |

What makes you think they are out of area Daniel, have a look back at Census records posted earlier. |

Sorry if I make things confusing! I can trace Elizabeth Kendall from 1811 she married William Smith, 1841 she was living at Wick House,Rettendon age 40,1851 living at Hawk Inn Rettendon age 56,1861 Living at Hoe lane age 60,1871 Living by Chelmsford road age 76. I find it hard as her age and the spelling of her surname seem to change! Just wanted to find out where she was born and who her parents where. |
