If all agreed I'll add to bcc.

It looks ok mjay.

I will try and look further because it may link further back from what is on BCC.

Jo, I've added John Smitheman & Emily Wells.
However I'm so confused who his parents are with all the names changes and don't know how best to add to bcc.

Surnames change from Smitheman/Smitherman/Smitheyman.

Looking into family on ancestry, I'm unsure if Mother is Mary or Maria.
I've also looked on freereg and Gro and can't find any births for her and Stephen.

And West Midland BMD there's a Mary and Maria born 1860.

I can't see a connection with the Family who you thought they might be connected to either.

Thanks
