Thank you Betty for the information about Harry W Smith. He was murdered by Estherina. I’m looking for anything about her having to do with her being locked away for about 4 years.

Harry was my uncle.

Susan,

Glad to help. I searched every which a way; I put Harry William Smith's name in the search box on Ancestry.com, I put Esterino Disilva Smith's name in the search box for Ancestry.com, and I looked for marriage and prison records. I couldn't come up with anything. Sorry.

I found it. Woot.

Yes! That’s the correct Harry and Estherina (Esther)! Thanks so much. One major issue the newspaper forgot to include is that their 2 children age 10 and 8 were witnesses. My poor cousins were traumatized.

Thanks so much for your help

Good Job Betty!

That was fun. I hate it when I can't find an answer. Woot.
