Thank you for that Ethel. I had found Miles in 1881 but was confused as on 1901 census it said Liverpool born for his father Richard. Was that Daniel age 13? I had Annie age 13. Harry J.R. born 1926 was my father. Both parents had died before he was 3. I have those certificates. Thanks again there are details I did not have.

I have Smiths living at this address in 1901 as follows:-
Hannah Smith (Woods) born Crewe Cheshire 1871
Miles Smith born Ramsbottom 1873
Elizabeth born Horwich 1892
William born Horwich 1895
Harry born 1896 (my grandfather)
Richard 1839 born Liverpool (earlier census has him born Limefeild)

In 1924 when Harry married he has his address as living at 7 Owens Court Horwich. Harry married Clarice Rangeley of 44 Winter Hay Lane. Clarice died in 1926 and Harry died 1929. I would love to hear from anyone connected to this family.
