Question

researching Lucy Jane Smith, who was her mother , she was orphaned ??

Answer 1

i am confused as on her profile you have her mother listed as https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Kitching_-_Kitchen-1. So my question is how do you think/assume/come to the conclusion she is orphaned. Also she is mentioned in the document * '''Deceased estates, 1846-1950''': "Deceased estates, 1846-1950"<br/>Catalog: [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/229462 Deceased estates, 1846-1950] V. 9/no. 220-384 1898-1900 V. 10/no. 1-73 1900<br/>Film number: 004049959 > image 1279 of 1331<br/>[https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89LS-R98L-C?cc=2573604&personaUrl=%2Fark%3A%2F61903%2F1%3A1%3AQLSX-ZZM6 FamilySearch Image] (accessed 7 December 2021)  in South Africa

The age in the above matches to the birth source that looks like it would match for that child, since location is the same and age would be about right.
