My maternal gt grandmother was **Ellen SMITH, bn 11 April 1847; m. Charles SCALES 24 Sep 1874 in Stevenage.
Both died and are buried in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire.
My gt gt grandparents were: James SCALES & Elizabeth DILLEY and John SMITH & Harriet HAWKINS
I am particularly interested in John SMITH & Harriet HAWKINS, as I know hardly anything about them, apart from their names taken from birth and marriage certificates.
I do know they married 29 June 1839 at Little Wymondley Parish Church, and Harriet's father was William HAWKINS.
John SMITH's father was also a John, occupation farmer. John [jun]'s occupation was that of sawyer.
John & Harriet had at least 7 children - Mary, Frederic, Ellen**, Arthur, George, John & Annie - thanks to the Census records on Ancestry!
As with the rest of my mother's SCALES family, the SMITHs & HAWKINs families appear to have stayed around Baldock, Great Wymondley & Little Wymondley, with occasional forays into Stevenage :)
Anyone else connect with these families?
