Thats what i thought its just she seemed to marry John riddle in Redruth then go to Oldham. so either John dies or they divorce Then she go to Redruth and marry John H Tregellas and then back in Oldham am assuming that that is were the work was,Just wanted to be as sure as i can be that I am on the right track never having done it before .

Jacqueline Report 12 Aug 2009 00:17

Clara Smith was born in Oldham Nov 1902
Selina married william Smith in June 1902
and I think Mary ann Tregellas was Selinas mother
Selina had 9 children which I think Ive mannaged to trace

I think some of your relationships are not quite right

Can we go first to what you are absolutely sure of.
Then we work back.

When was Clara Smith born and where?
Do you have a birth certificate?
