Fifth Generation 
Fifth Generation 12. John SMITH [3546] (Martha FRANK9, Samuel7, Peter2, Thomas1) was born on May 4, 1795 in Tydd St Giles Cambridgeshire England, died on Jan 5, 1870 in March Cambridgeshire England at age 74, and was buried on Jan 10, 1870 in March Cambridgeshire England.
General Notes: Father came from Tydd St.Giles in CAMBRIDGESHIRE. Son was a Corn Miller in March, CAMBS. John (this one) also probably lived in Tydd St. Giles. His third Wife, Mary Dent STANGER, was from Tydd St.Mary, LINCOLNSHIRE. However, Since his Son, John Stanger-Smith was Married in St.Ives, and HIS first Child was Born Nth. Witchford, CAMBS. in late 1862, THEN during the period 1832 (when He and Mary Dent Stanger were Married) and 1862 the Family may have moved, possibly in stages from Tydd St.Giles to March.
NEXT STEPS:
1. Search 1841 If Family living there at that time, try 1851 Census for Tydd St.Giles. Also try 1841 Census of Tydd St.Mary, LINCS. for traces of Stangers. Furthermore look for any mention of John and Martha SMITH and Children. (unlikely) John and Mary Dent SMITH and Children; and for John Stanger-SMITH and Emma (ULPH) and Family after she left home and married in 1860. Note: Emma shows in the St.Ives Census Records for the ULPH Family in 1841 and 1851. Since she was Married in 1860, she is not shown in the St.Ives Census for 1861; but may appear in Nth. Witchford. Also look for the Stanger (or Dent) Families in Tydd St.Mary in LINCOLNSHIRE. 1841 Census Records for Tydd-St.Giles, Ref.241227, ordered from the Mormon Library at Greenwich, Apr. 23, 1988. As of June 7, 1841 Census does not show any trace of John Smith and Mary; but maybe??? includes John Smith Snr. Tydd-St.Giles Census is divided into two Sections. The first (Western) Section is O.K.; but the Second (Eastern) Section is mostly illegible. Details of Smiths recorded are listed under the File D: Data Census.doc Access it through Word for Windows. The only John Smith in this Census who may be "ours" is the (very faint) J.S. living near "The Rectory". His age is recorded as 18; but may well be 78. The illegible Section of the Census is very hard to read. However, it is probable that MOST Family Names can be identified. There is about a 80-85% chance that our John Smith was not living there in 1841.
