	I think I've found the 1st hubby of my g/grandmother in Hull...not quite sure how I can prove it though...she was a Smith!!!... Not even sure if she ever did marry John Garfield in Bethnal Green (second marriage?)...oh what tangled webs we weave!! I know she left children up in Hull, (verified by my aunt but no names known), and William Richards is on the 1871 as a widow, but I'm pretty sure I'm right..... Eliza Smith, born Hull, with John Garfield as a Visitor on the 1871 census, Bethnal Green..... Daughter Eliza Lydia's birth cert 1880 gives mother as Eliza Garfield late Richards formerly Smith Hull district, Yorkshire Marriage for William Richards and Eliza Smith, Holy Trinity, Hull 1859 William Richards and Eliza on the 1861 + 1 child William Richards on the 1871 2 children (looks like 1 died) no Eliza, says widower William Richards on the1881, 1891 but not 1901 Can't see a death for Eliza!!!! What do you think? Any suggestions how to prove all this? one of those "banging head on a brickwall times" Sylvia
