Hi Mary,

Thanks for the response - there were things in that info that I didn't have which is always helpful.

I too descend from the Shoesmiths...

William Shoesmith m. Harriet Drury
Alfred Shoesmith m. Catherine Dykes
Beatrice Shoesmith m. Albert Edward Jones
Alfred Jones m. June Allen

then me.

Where do you fit in ?? - I have quite a bit on the Gills in my database.

Another name that I am trying to follow from around the Jones Island area is the very uncommon name "Jones" ha ha!! Do you happen to have any info re any other Shoesmiths or any of your Gills marrying with any Jones'. Naturally, Jones is proving difficult.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards, Lyle (Sydney)
