John SMITH

I have just finished researching John Smith and my research can be read at https://oldwhittingtonops.com/smith-john/
I have to admit when I first read the name I did worry that I wouldn't be able to find the correct man, however, as sometimes happens, John turned out easier to trace than I expected.
I managed to contact a great niece of Johns which helped to confirm I was on the correct path.

Sadly I have not yet found a photo of John Smith, and if there are any other descendants of the Smith family who might have a photo or any other information then please get in touch.
