Hello all.

Albert Heinrich Schmidt b.1882 - lived in Bideford Devon UK and was my grandfather Rudolf Wilhelm Schmidt's brother.

Rudolf got married and later changed his name to Munro-Smith ... but I don't know if his sisters and brother did the same: change their surname due to the First World War.

I don't know what became of Rudolf''s siblings:

Albert Heinrich Schmidt b.1882-
May Bruce Schmidt b.1893-
Elaine Margarethe Schmidt b.1891-
Constance Madeline Schmidt b. 1887-
(Mary Munro Schmidt b.1892 only survived a few weeks).

I've left this very late. My account expires tomorrow.

Thanks for any help with this.

Allan
