Unhappily everything I thought I knew about Albert Smith with the exception of his marriage to Rhoda Minnie Goode in 1888, the birth of their daughter Olive Elizabeth Smith in 1888 and his death in Runcorn Cheshire in 1891 are now proving to be incorrect.

I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to begin again:

I'm pretty sure that this belongs to another Albert Smith

This would mean that Elizabeth Page Hughes is not his mother, nor is he related to Eliza Jennings more than likely.

Any thoughts on all this would be most welcome and I'll happily flick over a gedcom file with the details of what I thought and what I can now verify if anyone has the time or interest to look it over.

Regards
