Smith Family

I just came across your interesting site on Glemsford and would like to request any help that might be available to my family research.
My g-g-g grandfather Benjamin Smith, was born in Glemsford about 1783 and died between 1871-81. He married Elizabeth Wakeling (Playle) in 1819 in Stanstead. I believe they only had three children...Isabella, Elizabeth, and Alfred Henry.
It appears that both had previous marriages, so it's possible Benjamin had other children. I have a possible father, John Smith born in Glemsford about 1755.
The census for 1841-51-61 show them living in Great Yeldham.
I'm descended from Alfred, born at Stanstead in 1826, and Eliza Bigg through their son Edwin, born 1858. Edwin emigrated to Canada in 1883.
Charles is probably the individual mentioned in your March post about the Jabez Copsey fire.
