thanks Mary I found a record of an Isabella Smith in Co Down and she married a John Smith but alas it states she is a spinster where as she would haver been a widow or divorcee,

Hi,

Lots of Smith's all over the place but make sure to check it out thoroughly...it wouldn't be the first time that I've found ancestors stating they were single or spinster's when I knew they were actually widowed! Sometimes, you just can't trust those ancestors of ours Good luck with your continued search.

HI Anne, thank you for your advice I was delighted to find my John Smith,s mothers death cert in Airdrie,they were Irish ,and I went over there to the proni,but it was amazing to find his mother had came to Scotland with him to Airdrie so Im thinking when she remarried her husband was Scottish

Anne I found that my Isabella Smith had married 3 times and they were all Irish and all her husbands 1st names were John,hubby no2 was my ancestor, I see you are looking at Allans my hubby is an Allan,I have some info on Allans from Larbert

[Anne H]

Hi again,

Three husbands, and all called John your Isabella certainly liked the name John...at least she wouldn't get confused by calling him the wrong name Great finds

It's mainly my Hogg family who came from Larbert. The Allan family came from Polmont. Any of your husband's Allan's venture the little way over to Polmont?

Regards,
