RESEARCH NOTES:
- Is the marriage witness Jemima Smith = Ann’s mother remarried, or a relative on John’s side?
- in the South Elmham All Saints Baptism Register, there are 2 confusing baptism entries:
* SMITH, John Newman, son of John Smith (veterinary surgeon) & Jemima (mn Coates), baptised Oct 10 1847 [see 1881 census for this person below]
* SMITH, George Coates, son of John (veterinary surgeon) and Anne Smith, baptised Dec 16 1849.
By 1847, this Jemima was well into her 50’s at least, and probably died in Oct 1849. Could this first entry refer to Ann’s mother Jemima?? Or was there another Jemima? Or should both babies belong to Ann, who married a John Smith??
