Member Since: April 2009 Posts: 13 Send Message	trying to find any more information about gertrude minnie smith c 1875, born in the langsett road area of sheffield, she married james henry harrison c 1877 who was a mechanical engineer. In 1901 they were living at 1 court Hoyle Street. They had 5 children that i am aware of, Edith, Florence, william, evelyn and Annie. I would greatly appreciate any help as I have hit a blank with smith being such a popular name.

	Two indications that she was actually born in 1872 -- aged 77 at death in 1949, aged 38 in 1911 (I take it that 1773 above meant 1873!). Births Jun 1872 ? SMITH Minnie Gertrude Wortley 9c 209 Wortley reg dist: Registration County : Yorkshire West Riding. Created : 1.7.1837. Abolished : 1.4.1974 (succeeded by Sheffield and Barnsley districts). She married as Gertrude Minnie but is shown as Minnie in 1911 -- suggests that perhaps Minnie was her formal first name but she went by Gertrude or vice versa. ;) But you have to get her marriage certificate before you can go any farther -- anything else is just guessing.
