Hi Lily,on that 1910 census the two Smiths are Sydney and Lena not Sena they are my granny's two youngest
siblings.Sarah is Cissie my grandfathers sister.I am just guessing but my grandfather is not on the list because he
was away at sea.This would be about the time that my great grandfather on the Smith side deserted his family and I know my granny Annie Smith was in service at some time I believe in the Isle of Man.Angus and John(Jack) were already in the RN
so just maybe my great grandfather Thomas Wethered looked after his son's(Matthew) fiancee(Annie Smith) two youngest siblings

It sure looks that way Matt and thank goodness for it eh?? the transcriptions of names are sometimes truly terrible and makes searching a lot harder too. Off to Have a look at Mary Florence Smith/Edmonson/Wethered back later on eye on the games repeats!!
Just by the way poor Jane nee Mcauley died at 43 in 1877 leaving husband Thomas and the children, so not surprising he married again a year later.

Just like to pass on mine and cunny's (Teresa) thanks.We are FAMILY!!!!!!
But here is something very unexpected Teresa's husband Matthew(Matty) was in the same class as my wife Sheilas brother George
at St Jimmies.We have been talking about our families and Teresa mentioned her husband's age and the school he went to and
Low and behold not only did Matty remember George but knew exactly where their family used to live in Southey Street.
Great stuff genies another feather in your tiddley bonnets. :) :)
Lots of love to you Jan,Glossy and Lily.
