It would be useful to know his wife's first name. 1891 has this: Name: Joseph Smith Age: 30 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1861 Relation: Head Spouses's Name: Mary >>Where Born: Spennymoor, Durham, England Civil parish: Crook and Billy Row Ecclesiastical parish: Stanley Town: Sunniside County/Island: Durham Registration district: Auckland Sub registration district: Hamsterley Household Members: >>Joseph Smith 30 Margret J Smith 2 >>Mary Smith 26 Mary Smith 7 But we need his wife's name to confirm this is the right/wrong Joseph Smith

Who did Joseph marry? When you say 'Auckland' for his birthplace, I assume you mean the registration district. Reg

Oops - sorry, Spennymore in Auckland district 1937-1938.

Elaine Report 18 Aug 2006 10:04

IF the 1871 census is correct then Joseph´s place of birth is stated as Spennymore. Registration district for Spennymore is Stockton - so this could be his birth (from FreeBMD) Births Dec 1861 SMITH Joseph Stockton 10a 52

Well my geography isn't great and Auckland in New Zealand is the only one I know of! It always helps if you specify the county at the beginning...

Gail

Gail Report 17 Aug 2006 21:23

Bishop Auckland, Durham is what I mean. Gail

Sam Report 17 Aug 2006 21:13

Have you found them on the 1881 census - if so where? If not, you can search this for free on the LDS website. Do you mean Auckland, New Zealand and if so, did they come back to the UK? Sam x

I am looking for Thomas Smith and his wife Mary. They had at least one chidl called JOSEPH who married in 1881. Joseph was born in 1860 in Auckland. I am afraid that is all I know. Thanks Gail
