Fanny Hambleton nee Smithurst


Recommended Posts

No relation but can see their marriage and them later living Yorkshire in 1901 and 1911 . 

 

See he was from St.Omer .

Maybe she went with her parents working in the Calais lace industry and met him there ?

Can't see a birth for Fanny in Nottingham around 1846 (her given birthdate) neither is she obvious on any earlier Census.

 

There is a report of Oscar Cadet being beaten up by three thugs in Denman Street in 1884 . The thugs yelled "There's the Frenchman" and one gave him a kick in the face that broke Oscar's jaw .

Fanny's (Frances) father was Joseph Smithurst.  She was a widow when she married Oscar with the surname Hambleton.  They married on 19/1/1884.  David - I've been told about that attack on him before, it's very sad.
