Can someone find out anything about Richard Smith (b.1821) Souldrop Bedfordshiire ? From what I gather he was married to Naomi ? (b 1816) and had a daughter Ruth (b 1849). Ruth married Frederick Bird, also from Souldrop.
Many thanks![]()

I think Naomi was BAILEY Petal, as the IGI has this record

Parents John and Temperance.
