    More information. In the 1913 and 1914 Bakersfield City Directories, the occupant of 1101 11th St listed is john h smith brkmn sante fe and the occupants listed for 301 A St are Gilbert Chidgey [son of Frank], Frank O Chidgey [Percy Oland "Frank" Chidgey, son of Frank] and Frank Chidgey. Found no listing for 827 8th St. If Elizabeth is a sister to John Linford/Henry Smith b 1883 then she is a previously unknown daughter of John Linford Smith b 1808. He was a tyre smith in the railroad shops and may have been employed at some time somewhere on the line to Bristol which went through Chipping Sodbury and not far from Ledbury.

    And a correction. The correct year of birth for John Linford Smith, the possible father of Elizabeth, is 1849. His father of the same name was born in 1808.

    There is a birth registration for an Elizabeth Ann Barratt Apr-May-Jun 1882 Pancras London. The right time period and the same area of London where John Linford Smith b 1849 lived with his family. Perhaps Elizabeth and her mother then moved to Chipping Sodbury and/or Ledbury. Lots of guesses and no real proof of anything.

    On the 1913 Majestic passenger list, Elizabeth Ann Barratt is going to her bro j smith in bakersfield. If this is true her half-brother is probably John Linford/Henry Smith, my wife's grandfather, and if so Elizabeth's father is John Linford Smith of St Pancras who worked for the railroad. My current best guess for Elizabeth's mother is Mary Ann Barratt born about 1861 in Uxbridge who at age 20, per the 1881 Census, was a household servent in Uxbridge which is about 2.5 miles from the London Bristol railroad line (near Heathrow airport). Have found nothing indicating Elizabeth reached Bakersfield but there are many Elizabeth Barratt's elsewhere in California soon after 1913. Or, Barratt could be Elizabeth's married name.
