  Notes	September 2010: email contact from Murray Smith. Thomas Smith was Murray's great grandfather - Murray is a descendant of Thomas Smith's second marriage. Murray comments as follows: "I have Thomas' naval record (he served two terms starting as a stoker in 1856) and he ended up in the coastguard service on the West coast of Ireland, dying in Scotland in 1917. He seemed flexible when stating his date of birth (1.1 1837 or 1838), possibly because he wanted to join the RNavy without parent's consent, and the census return for 1901 suggests both he and his wife were 10 years younger than they were. His place of birth on the navy records is stated as Holborn and I am trying to find his birth records to get to his parents but it is of course rather difficult." Murray provided the details shown here of Thomas and Mary Ann's children, 'information largely sourced from family bible'. Murray also provided details of Thomas and Maria's children. Thomas's birth date is given by Murray as 1 January 1837 or 1838.
