Age of Mary doesn't fit with marriage so I wonder if he married twice?

Births Jun 1889 (>99%)
Smith Hannah Eliza Altrincham 8a 206a

................so Hannah had middle name Eliza. This may help find her later.


If she stayed in Cheshire, then this is a possible marriage:-

Marriages Dec 1908 (>99%)
BRITCLIFFE David Bucklow 8a 354
HOULDEN Henrietta Bucklow 8a 354
RILEY George Bucklow 8a 354
<<<< SMITH Hannah Eliza Bucklow 8a 354

The district Bucklow spans the boundaries of the counties of Cheshire and Lancashire

hello THANK YOU to all who have help the infomation given some i have myself but have not been sure that the people are my ancestors,would like to know who Thomas's parents are???

would also like to find out what happened to thomas henry's two other sisters edith born 1877 and mary born 1882

i think Annie (Elizabeth) Smith married Harry Jackson and i it makes sense to think that Hannah (Eliza) Smith marries George Riley.
If there any decendant out there who belive they are connected to Annie E Smith or Hannah E Smith please feel free to contact me
kind regarrds Suzanne
