Hi i have been contacted through a hot match and now i am unsure of some information. I have a William Smailes b1831, mother Jane Aynsley b1806, father Thomas Smailes b1811. I have a marriage for William twice first to a Catherine Walby and then to an Isabella Mudd. Could anyone please find out if this is true. Thank you |

Why would her children have that surname. I am getting confused? |

Catherines uncle's name was WALBY but her sons name was STRAFFYN OR STRAUGHAN or STRAFFIN depending how it was heard and spelled on the census so could Catherine always have been a Straughan before her marriage to William Smailes? |

If her uncles surname was Walby, then her maiden surname must of been Walby. Thats why im thinking was she married before. |

Not neccessarily....perhaps her uncle was her mothers brother or perhaps he was her fathers sisters husband, |

True, can you find Catherine's birth. |
