I assume Helen Margaret Barnfield Smith is probably Margaret Helen Barnfield Oliver an executor on a previous posting.

George William Smith seems to have married, but seems unlikely to have had issue unless her married again, going by the age of his wife in 1911:

Am I missing a daughter or something, as I'm not sure where the Hurrys come in to this?

George's daur Hannah Snow who married William Snow also looks unlikely to have had offspring given her age in census 1901. By 1911 she was widowed, and no children were with her:

I don't know if Hannah Snow's husband William Snow was a relative of her or not. The 1901 census gives his birthplace as Eltham, London, England, c1831.

This might be his baptism for his parents:

However he predeceased Hannah:

ok, penny's finally dropping...

I can't link Matilda Snow who married Theodore Hurry directly to George Snow, subject of the portrait.

BUT it looks like Matilda is almost certainly a sister to the William Snow who married George's daughter Hannah Snow, as they both have parents named William and Sophia.

The 1871 census showed Matilda Hurry (nee Snow) to have been born c1844 Putney, Surrey

Father's Name: William Snow
Mother's name: Sophia Snow

Matilda's father William is decribed as a gardener, as was William Snow's father William on the 1831 Eltham baptism.


Her probate:

Not quite sure why the knowledge of George's portrait would pass to the Snow- Hurry line, when they are not his direct descendants?

Just reposting what I posted on the first page to save everyone trawling back - it looks like the Hurry bride from that 1905 marriage was the daughter of Theodore Hurry and wife Matilda Christiana Snow, Hannah Snow's sister in law:

You've invested a lot of time and effort in this, Kucinta.

let's hope that the poster returns and adds some comment

I am sure the poster will return, surely they are allowed to do other things rather than stay glued to the computer all day

I guess I did get a bit carried away - I needed the distraction tbh.

Also I have wandered off the original remit of focusing on descendants of the Hurry-Snow marriages.

As far as I can tell Madeleine Christine Snow seems to have been the only child of that 1905 marriage of Herbert Hall Snow and Christine Hurry, and as we've seen she died a spinster in 1981.

So if all George's direct Smith descendants have been followed and ruled out as knowing anything about the portrait, then I guess that leaves us and Lindsey looking at other children of Theodore Hurry and Matilda Christiana Snow.

I do still wonder whether or not George's will might have mentioned the portrait at all , but maybe Lindsey has already obtained that.

Theodore Hurry seems to have died in 1876.

I couldn't find a baptism for Theodore Langton Hurry who was mentioned in Matilda's probate record, but he appears to be with her in 1881:
