A son, Thomas was baptised on 11 May 1807 ^[4]

A son, William Smith was baptised at General Baptist, Quorndon on 27 Jan 1809. Mother was Mary Buxton. ^[5][6]

Note

There was another Thomas Smith who died age 78 and was buried on 26 Feb 1854 in Quorn. This Thomas would be 10 years younger than Mary, which whilst not impossible would have been less likely. I'm leaving both death records on the profile until I know for sure which one applies, if either. ^[9]

Note: the source is "expired" according to Familysearch, but the "current" one they link to is for completely different people in a completely different county. Not very good, so I'm sticking with the expired one till I can find a more reliable source than Familysearch, which seems to be going downhill rapidly.
