Hi Jo Just been through the info you sent. I think I need to have some more detailted info before I can go any further on this name. Thank you. There is another name I cannot seem to find in Scotland that maybe connected. That is Catherine Jane Kerr. It is a possiblity that the child who came into our family could of belonged to her. I am wondering if Catherine was the mother and she died in England. Do you think it is worth my while subscribing to Ancestry etc. As I have said before all my research is done on Scotlands people and wonder if I will find anymore. There is only so much you can expect anyone else to do for you. Thankyou Julie

Hi JoJo Thanks for the info, was there a lot of Henrietta Shaw marriages?as there is a possibilty that Smiley could have been a second marriage. The reason I am trying to find out is that she could have had an illegimate daughter who from toddler age was brought up by my family. I was told that my g grandfather went down to England to get this child and her mother maybe then moved to Ireland and married Smiley. As family say that my g grandfather used to take the child over to Ireland to visit Henrietta so I am putting two and two together and assuming the child was hers. I am not sure about searging English records. Is there any possible way of finding out childs birth I guess it was around 1925 Thanks Julie

Have checked the marriages on Ancestry from 1920-1929 there are several marriages for Henrietta Shaw, but none to a Smiley. JoJo

I am trying to find a marriage for a Henrietta Shaw. She moved down to England from Scotland in the 1920s. I know she went to live in Ireland as I have a letter that was sent back to relatives in Scotland. Her husbands name in Ireland was I belive Smilie. I just wondered if anyone could check to see if she married him or someone else in England. I am only registered with Scotlands People as most of amy ancestors are Scottish. Any help would do. By the way she was born in 1903 Inverness Scotland. Thankyou Julie
