Leslie Spurrell SMITH
Set As Default Person -
Name Leslie Spurrell SMITH Relationship 
with Teresa Ann GOATHAM Born 9 Dec 1902 Devonport, Devon, England
- Date and place of birth from naval records.
GRO ref: SMITH, Leslie Spurrell q1 1903 Devonport RD 5b 280; GRO online index shows mother's maiden name as Spurvell
I believe Leslie is a son of Thomas and Florence as this is only Spurrell = Smith marriage in Devon I know of, Thomas died probably in 1910 and Leslie is in the dockyard orphanage in 1911, along with a Fred, who fits as the brother not with his mother at the time of the census, which shows she had had 6 children and all were still alive.
Gender Male Residence 1911 The Royal Dockyard Orphanage, Devonport, Devon, England
- One of 30 people living in the orphanage at the time of the 1911 census, one of the others being his brother Frederick.
The 30 consisted of a Matron, Sewing Mistress, Cook and one housemaid. The other 26 were 16 girls, aged 7 to 15, the 5 14 and 15 year olds all shown as working there, the others at school, and 10 boys, aged 8 to 13, all at school. Presumably there was no work there suitable for boys and they had to leave once they reached the age of 14.
