My father (Vernon Minden Smith) has a book which was passed down and it is dedicated to William Smith who was a grocer in Bedale, North Yorkshire and arrived in Natal aboard the HAIDEE in 1850. I'm trying to trace the lineage. My grandfather was Mervyn Gilbert Smith, who I'm sure was a descendant of William Smith.

Dear Janine,

I also have the book about William Smith and you are indeed descended from him.

Have a look at page 319 of the book. You will see that one of his sons was William Smith (1829-1917) who married Sarah Ann Taylor. One of their sons was James Herbert Smith (1875-1946) who married Mary Elizabeth Thomas. Go down the column relating to James Herbert Smith and you will find your grandfather, Mervyn Gilbert Smith who married Marjorie Patricia Barker.

Kind regards,

Pat, thank you so much. I will ask my dad (Vernon) to do so. I can't thank you enough. THANK YOU.
