Smithson Notes & Memoirs
Written by Steve Smithson Monday, 20 March 2006 01:00
Thanks to the diligence of Mark Mawtus, I have acquired the publishers file copy of "Genealogical Notes & Memoirs of the Smithson Family" by George R Smithson. It was published in 1906 by Seeley and Co. Ltd, 38 Great Russell Street, London. The Latter Day Saints hold a copy on Microfilm. The Smithson Association in the United States also hold an original. This is the full text with illustrations but you will find the layout differs slightly from the book to suit publishing in this format.Greenhow - Life On The Hill

A new publication called 'Life On The Hill' about life in a small North Yorkshire village named 'Greenhow' has many Smithson's in it and loads of old photo's. I'm sure it will be of interest to many who visit this site.
The index in the book reveals 16 Smithson's. Find out more here.

The Thirlways were a prominent family in Ripon and had a Printing business in the Market Place. My interest? A Thirlway married a Smithson. Rashaad Thirlway who wrote the foreward of this book is my cousin. The Thirlway Journal is required reading for anyone interested in Ripon or just Victorian life. It can be obtained from The Ripon Historical Society
J B Smithson and the Northern Dales
Written by Steve Smithson Monday, 11 March 2002 01:00
This book compiled by © Clive Torrens, gives an insight to life in the Northern Yorkshire Dales in the early 20th Century. Clive has selected a superb collection of picture postcard images photographed by J B Smithson.
A must for Smithson's everywhere, especially those interested in an image of the now non existent Stanwick Hall, the seat of Sir Hugh Smithson.
Clive has kindly permitted reproduction of his introduction to the book which demonstrates what prolific photographers J B Smithson and his sons were.
