How wierd! I already have the Smoothys in 1871, but I was looking at that Timothy family and thinking Timothy, John DR, what a coincidence, my gt grandfather was John David Robert Smoothy - and then I saw the father b. Chelmsford, just like my gt gt grandfather the beadle, and his wife in Stoke [actually Stoke Poges] - it IS my family! I can only assume that whoever mistranscribed Emily as a Timothy in 1891 has done the same with the family in 1871. Thank you all again for the time & trouble you have taken to look for me. I am sooo grateful. nell

Nell Still can't find her! Are you sure she didn't emigrate for a time and then come back??? Or maybe she got married, got widowed and went back to calling herself Smoothy? Or maybe I'm clutching at straws now!!! Lou

Lou Thank you so much for your efforts. I think she must be around and probably in the home counties, but in cunning disguise! Cheers nell

Haha! Well her big sister and younger brother were very involved with the church, so I suppose she could have done a few christenings in her spare time! nell
