Gen 4 Smith Factsheet

Information of my Great Grandmother on the Smith line.

It is true that every family tree will undoubtedly link into the name 'Smith' at some point. This is the first instance I encounter the name 'Smith but also find it in 2 other places in my family tree.

The name 'Smith' makes tracing lineage incredibly difficult as it is such a common name and very difficult to track with accuracy.

Margaret Ann Smith

Born. 21.11.1904 - Location tbc
Died. 30.12.1969 in Durham

1911 Census location tbc

Married to Jamey Murray in 1923, Aged 18

James and Margaret had 4 children 'officially'

However it was later revealed that Margaret was not the daughter of Margaret Ann and James but was actually their GrandDaughter and Annie had given birth to Margaret but they were all raised as siblings.
