Hi Margaret

Yes i agree looks good.Don't take much notice of birth year being out especially as it was a Grandparent doing the census.Birth years can vary so much from census to census and it isn't too far out.Also can vary when someone other than parent does it.
Smith records are harder to trace as there is alot of Smiths.
Glad i could help.
Happy searching!

Michelle,

Thanks.
I had the 1901 census but the 1871 looks a possible with the place of birth being Eston even though the year is a bit out. The registration district is the same as that where her marriage was recorded. What do you reckon?
Good one, thanks,
Angela

I am trying to find more details about my Great Grandmother Sarah Smith.
She was born circa 1866. I think in Eston, Yorkshire.
She married Richard Ellis 26.03.1883 in Gisborough, Yorks.
They had a daughter Margaret Elizabeth born 1896 in Middlesborough, Yorks.
I have a copy of Richard and Sarah's marriage certificate but it shows no fathers name for Sarah. This has meant I have not been able to get any further details about her.

Any help would be gratefully received!

Thanks,

Angela
