Lorraine there are plenty of Jessie E Smiths in 1891 but none born in Croydon. There is a Jessie Watson born Surrey. Watson, Jessie abt 1866 Wandsworth, Surrey, England Lodger St Marylebone London Georgina.

She could be under the name Emma Jessie she used to swap her first two names about

Lorraine

Lorraine Report 15 Jan 2006 11:43

also date of birth could be 1868 that seemed to vary too

Her name did become Watson after Smith but shouldnt have been that in 1891

Georgina

Georgina Report 15 Jan 2006 11:48

Lorraine why I thought she might be Watson in 1891 is because on the 1901 census she is with her brother and his name is Watson. Georgina.

What was her maiden name ? Georgina.

Lorraine

Lorraine Report 15 Jan 2006 11:54

I have her on the 1871 as a Jessie Mcloud but along the way this surname as been spelt differently, such as Maclouad amd mcLeod

Sorry Lorraine I have looked for Emma & Jessie Smith and every other combination, she may not have put croydon as her place of birth in 1891 but there are so many Smiths aaarrrrgh. Was her son William born before the 1891 census? Georgina.

Lorraine

Lorraine Report 15 Jan 2006 12:15

I thought Smith might be an hard one. I'm not sure what month he was born in so not sure if he'd show on census or not

Georgina

Georgina Report 15 Jan 2006 12:22

Lorraine I cant see William in 1891 sorry. Georgina.
