Hi,
I am trying to find any relations to my late father Archibald William Smale, born 17th April 1916 in Barnstaple, Devon and died 26th March 1989 in Basingstoke, Hampshire.
His father was Archibald Smale, born 1891 in Yarnscombe, Devon and died 1985 in Barnstaple, Devon and his mother was Mary Ann Hill, born 1896 in Barnstaple, Devon and died in 1953 in Birmingham.
I am stuck on the parents of George Smale, born 1831 in Wear Gifford, Devon and died in 1898 in Devon.
Can anyone help?

There seem to have been rather a lot of John Smales, but this might be the marriage of the couple above: John Smale and Catherine Elliott, married at Bideford 27th May 1830.

FMP = Find my Past
They appear to have got the Name Ruth off a census entry in 1841 for a George Smale br Devon 1830 living in Abbotsham
She apears to have died 1845-Bideford-Mar 1845-10-51 a death cert may help if she was a widow, it may contain a spouses name. She could also have been a single mother, there is a baptism for a Ruth Smale-Weare Giffard 4 May 1783-parents Edward Smale and Ann would have made her around 45 at the birth of the George Smale on 1841 census, bit old but not impossible at all

George Smale born about 1831 in Wear Gifford,
Hi many thanks for your help everyone I am very greatful for your time.
I meant to have put Barnstaple as where Archibald died.
The information I have is,
My father was Archibald William Smale born 17th April 1916 in Barnstaple, Devon and died in 1989 in Basingstoke, Hampshire.
his parents were;
Archibald Smale born 29 Sept 1891 in Yarnscombe, Devon and dien April 1985 in Barnstaple, Devon
Mary Ann Hill born June 1896 in Barnstaple and died in 1953 in Birmingham.
Archibalds parents were;
John Smale born June 1859 in Huntshaw, Devon and died in Barnstaple, Devon
Elizabeth Smallridge born 1856 in Huntshaw, Devon and died 1932 in Tawstock, Devon.
Johns parents were;
George Smale born about 1831 in Wear Gifford, Devon and died Dec 1898 in Devon
Eliza Young born 1838 in Wear Gifford, Devon and died March 1874 in Devon
Other children of George and Eliza were, Edward Smale 1862 Huntshaw, Devon, Elizabeth Smale 1865 Alverdiscott, Devon
Sarah Smale 1868 Alverdiscott, Devon and Lucy Smale 1870 Alverdiscott, Devon.
Thats as far as I know apart from a comment on ancestry about Georges mother being 'Ruth' 1791 - 1845.?
Once again Many thanks for all your help and your time.
