NOTES

Although as yet I have been unable to confirm who his parents were, it seems Job SMITH (J36) may have had a brother John and a sister Mary. The will of John SMITH of West Lynn (proved 1803, Norwich Consistory) names his brother Job as executor, and also mentions a niece Mary BALLS, daughter of John BALLS - probably the Mary BALLS baptised in Kirstead in 1789, daughter of John BALLS and Mary née SMITH.

Job SMITH (J36) names all the above ten children in his will, but I cannot be sure if the birth, marriage and death details I have given for his son Job relate to him or to a different Job SMITH.
