Hi Deb
Im still looking into Druscilla Death but wondered if you could link the Smiths at Moat farm, Mill Green, Edwardstone 1901 census to all or any of the above ?
Father Daniel Smith Mother Sarah Smith nee Salmon had many children & my direct line is from one of their children Frances Smith who was the mother of my grandmother "Joyce Marsden nee Darby" & her brothers Gordon & John Darby.
Im told that Frances married a Darby and that he was a baker/breadmaker & was killed on way to work in London during the blitz 1941.
Many thanks
Joanne.x
