James Shute and Harriett Smith
I am looking for information about James Shute and Harriett Smith who married in Exeter, Devon, England 18 May 1862.I later found them in Paddington, Middlesex in 1871.On 28 December 1872, they arrived in Norfolk, Virginia aboard the SS Hibernian with their son, Albert, and daughter, Leah.Leah died in Memphis, Tennessee of typhoid fever 28 September 1878.At that time she was known as Lean Smith, her maiden name.Her children were also using the Smith surname.Family oral history says there was a divorce and that both parents died.
I interested in knowing what happened to James Shute and if anyone is familiar with this family.Harriett was the sister to my gg-grandmother, Charlotte Smith Way.
Thanks for your help.
