Notes

General:

281013: Clearly, though it is often stated on census returns, she was not born in 1876 (by calculating from the year of the census and age stated) but rather in 1875 when she was christened. Her birth month must have resulted in census surveys misrepresenting her years so I am changing this date to 1875 today.

Notes

General:

250815:

Note that the Nova Scotia Smith's family tree on Ancestry.com operated by Tom Smith gives his place of birth as Nova Scotia which is not in accord with what we believe (should be born in England) and also shows his father's name as James instead of John.

270815:

Janet McIntyre found his Christening record. Her source was the South West Heritage Trust:
"John Gray born 3rd April 1818 son of John and Mary Gray . John Gray a cooper of Wolborough. John junior baptised Anglican Wolborough Newton Abbott Devonshire. Record from South West Heritage Trust."

030416 from Janet McIntyre:

John Gray 3/4/1818
son of John and Mary Gray (cooper)
It was not uncommon to name a child the same as a decesed sibling in those days.

Note that the information Janet collected on John, his siblings and his father appear to be christening dates, not birth dates. I am adjusting the others accordingly now.
