I would be very interested to hear from anyone who thinks they may be related to a Joseph Wilson SMAILES, who was born abt 1879, maybe in Tow Law, Co Durham and died 1 March 1914.
Joseph married Gertrude PARKINSON, the daughter of George PARKINSON and Margaret TODD.
Joseph, I have learned, died in some kind of riding accident while he was kennel huntsman of the North Durham Hounds.
