Comment by Carroll Nichols Holmes on December 6, 2009 at 12:04am: Looking for living descendants of Stephen Charles Smith and Mellicent "Jean" Teasdale. They married in England during WW I, he was 1st gen Canadian, she was from Co. Durham. He received a medical discharge in 1917 and returned to Canada.
Charles was a steamfitter and lived until 1970. He was born in Bartonville and lived near there in Hamilton until he died with the exception of a few years after the "Great War" in London, ON,
His father was Erdmund (Edmund) Schmidt (Smith) who emmigrated with his parents and sister from Germany about 1850.
His sister married a Waller and had a large family.

I have more data, please let me know if this matches anyone.
