I am aware that a number of people may have drawn a blank in finding the parents of Enos Smithson of Langthorpe (born 1779). So, here's the challenge - has anyone successfully connected Enos to his parents? Here's what we know of Enos: Census data shows him to be born about 1779 in Langthorpe. 1841 census shows him as an Agricultural Labourer in Cundall as does the 1851 census. The 1861 census shows him in Ripon workhouse. Death indexes show his death Qtr 1 1864. He married Susannah Dawson (b1785, Kirkby Hill) on 31 May 1806 at Cundall. Susannah's parents were Thomas Dawson and Alice Wiseman and Alice's parents were William Wiseman and Esther Pick. The children of Enos and Susannah were: Enos - 1808 to 1874
Thomas - 1811 to 1871
John - 1817 to bef 1891
Samuel - 1818 to 1879
Alice - 1821 to ?
Mary - 1823 to ?
Mark - 1828 to aft 1881 Come on, where does Enos fit in?

Entry in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack
Gerald Arthur Smithson, who died suddenly on 6 September 1970, aged 43, played for Yorkshire in 1946 and 1947, his highest innings for the county being 169 against Leicestershire at Leicester in the second year. Conscripted as a Bevin Boy in the mines after the war, he received special permission, after his case had been debated in the House of Commons, to tour the West Indies with the MCC team of 1947—48, taking part in two Test matches. His picture appeared in Wisden 1948, page 38. In 1951 he joined Leicestershire, with whom he remained for six seasons, of which his best was that of 1952 when, by attractive left-hand batting and the aid of two centuries, he hit 1,264 runs, average 28.08. He afterwards served as coach, first at Caterham School and then at Abingdon School, and between 1957 and 1962 he also assisted Hertfordshire.
