from Bham
Looking at Mary (Randal) Smith's sister Hannah who married James Hands, their eldest son was born in Bham but baptised in Fillongley also.
It appears too difficult to work out if their mother (Hannah) had any children with William Smith, complicated by a marriage for a (different?) William Smith to a Hannah Hall in Fillongley about the same time.
Of Hannah's children with James Hands the only one I'm sure of is an Elizabeth who first married an Alfred Crowe and then a Harry Restall. She moved to Bham after the death of her first husband and had one daughter with him, Sophia Jane Crowe who married an Alfred Bayliss and had at least 9 children. She died Bham 1932. So there should be distant relatives and possibly in Bham as well.
