Stephen SMITH
- Aft 1770-
Name Stephen SMITH [1] Gender Male Death Aft 29 May 1770 [2] Person ID I1450 UK Thrale family | Fairfolds and Hammonds Thrale branch, Marshalswick Thrale branch Last Modified 6 Feb 2010
Father Ralph SMITH, b. 1727 d. 1800 (Age 73 years) Mother Mary CHILD d. Yes, date unknown Marriage 9 May 1762 St Dunstan-in-the-West, Middlesex, England 
[1] - Married by licence on 9 May at St Dunstan in the East, London, he was called bachelor of St Michael St Albans and she spinster of the parish, the marriage was witnessed by her father Stephen Child and his brother-in-law John Peyton. The only confusing thing about it (and I have had the original records checked) is that their first son Ralph Thrale Smith was baptised 11 April 1762 at St Michael, St Albans - which I have no explanation for!
The IGI gives the baptisms of a total of nine children to them at St Michael, but by the time Ralph's father Richard Smith made his PCC will dated 29 May 1770 (I have a copy) only Ralph Thrale Smith, Stephen Smith, William Smith and Hannah Smith were still alive and another three, Sally, Mary Ann and Harriot baptised after.
