  • William Smith

married Amelia Pickford at Manchester Cathedral, 1806. Known children:
According to William's marriage entry he was working as grocer and was a bachelor. Amelia was a spinster. Both William and Amelia signed their names. On George's marriage certificate he gave William as being a tanner.

I haven't yet found George's baptism record to confirm that William and Amelia were his parents or when he was born, but it does seem likely they are his parents due to their names and location.
