=======================================================

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED, and to alphabetize the entries in each category. Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to   https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link). It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.

52 Relatives: Hannah Rebecca (Richmond) (Smith) Hoyle (1858-1907) of Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts

 I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of  my ancestors back through the 7th great-grandparents - see the list in 52 Ancestors Biographies.  

This "52 Relatives" theme is a weekly series to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short genealogical sketches, including important events, and with source citations.  These relatives lived and died within a family structure, and deserve a genealogical sketch - they were integral parts and important persons in the lives of my ancestral families.  I will post the sketches on my Ancestry Member Tree and in the FamilySearch Family Tree. 

                                               ================================= 

There is no known birth record for Hannah Rebecca Richmond.  She died on 7 January 1907 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, at age 48 years, 7 months, and 11 days.[1]  That provides a birth date of 27 March 1858.  She was the daughter of James and Hannah (Rich) Richmond, who migrated from Wiltshire in England to Rhode Island in the mid-1850s.  The death record, provided by her son, says she was born in Turkeyville, Rhode Island, which may be a part of the town of Burrilville, Rhode Island where the Richmond family resided in the 1860 U.S. Census.

In the 1860 US census, the James Richmond family resided in Burrillville, Providence County, Rhode Island.[2] The household included:

•  James Richmond -- age 38, male, white, farm laborer, born England
• Hannah Richmond -- age 36, female, born England
• Thomas Richmond -- age 12, male, born England, attended school
• James Richmond -- age 10, male, born England, attended school
• Louisa Richmond -- age 8, female, born England, attended school
• Elizabeth A. Richmond -- age 5, female, born England, attended school
• Emma Richmond -- age 6, female, born England, attended school
• Hannah R. Richmond -- age 2, female, born RI.

In the 1870 US census, the James Richmond family resided in Putnam, Windham County, Connecticut in the house of George Whitford.[3] The household included:

• James Richmond -- age 49, male, works for woolen mill, born England
• Anna Richmond -- age 45, female, keeping house, born England
• Louisa Richmond -- age 17, female, works in woolen mill, born England
• Elizabeth Richmond -- age 15, female, works in woolen mill, born England
• Emma Richmond -- age 13, female, works in woolen mill, born England
• Rebeca Richmond -- age 11, female, born RI, attended school
• John Richmond -- age 5, male, born RI, attended school
• Charles Richmond -- age 3, male, born CT

Hannah Rebecca was not found in the 1880 United States Census records.  

Hannah Rebecca Richmond married, first, to Frank Nason Smith in about 1880, perhaps in Putnam, Windham County, Connecticut where her parents resided in 1880.[4]  Frank Nason Smith was born 26 August 1856 in Northbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and died in Northbridge on 22 May 1888.

Frank and Hannah Rebecca (Richmond) Smith had two children:

• Lewis Nason Richmond Smith was born 26 December 1881 in Whitinsville, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and died in 1950 in Auburn, Worcester County, Massachusetts.  He married 21 March 1914 to Harriet A. Heaton in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts.  She was born 15 December 1883 in Worcester, Massachusetts.

• Millie Maria Smith was born 22 April 1885 in Northbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and died 6 August 1986 in Shrewsbury, Worcester County, Massachusetts.  She married Elmer Lyman Powers on 3 October 1914 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts.  Elmer was born 25 November 1890 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts and died 13 August 1956 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts.  

After the death of Frank Nason Smith on 22 May 1888 in Northbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts,  Rebecca (Richmond) Smith married, second, Edmund A. Hoyle (1865-1899) on 24 December 1890 in Northbridge, Worcester County, Massachusetts.[5]  The marriage record notes that Edmund A. Hoyle of Whitinsville was age 25, a hostler, born in Worcester, parents William and Sarah L (Shepherd), his first marriage; Rebecca was age 31, a seamstress, born in Pascoag, parents were James and Hannah (Rich) [Richmond] her second marriage; by Minister of the Gospel in Whitinsville.

Edmund and Hannah Rebecca Hoyle had one child:

• Grace Louisa Hoyle was born 16 September 1891 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts, and died in 1959 in Worcester County, Massachusetts.  She married Walter Howard Donley on 10 July 1912 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts.  Walter was born 11 April 1885 in Shrewsbury, Worcester County, Massachusetts.  

In the 1900 United States Census, the Hanna R. Hoyle family resided on Florence Street in Worcester city, Worcester County, Massachusetts.[6]  The household included:

• Hanna R. Hoyle - Head, white, female, born Mch 1859, age 41, Widowed, 3 children born, 3 living, born Rhode Island, father born England, mother born England, a dressmaker, can read, write and speak English, rents a home
• Louis M. Hoyle - Son, white, male, born Dec. 1881, age 18, Single, born Massachusetts, father born Massachusetts, mother born Rhode Island, a concaver (razors), can read, write and speak English
• Millie M. Hoyle - Daughter, white, female, born April 1885, age 15, Single, born Massachusetts, father born Massachusetts, mother born Rhode Island, at school, can read, write and speak English
• Grace L. Hoyle - Daughter, white, female, born Sept. 1891, age 8, Single, born Massachusetts, father born Massachusetts, mother born Rhode Island, at school, can read, write and speak English

Note that the first two children are listed with the surname Hoyle when they were born a Smith.

Hannah (Richmond) (Smith) Hoyle died 7 January 1907 in Worcester, Massachusetts, at the age of 48 years, 9 months and 11 days, of pulmonary tuberculosis.[1]  She was born in Turkeyville, R.I.  Her husband's name was given as Edmund A. Hoyle.  Her parents names were given as James Richmond (born England) and Hannah Rich (born England).  The informant was her Son, L.N.R. Smith.

Hannah Rebecca Richmond Hoyle is buried in Hope Cemetery in Worcester, worcester County, Massachusetts, with her second husband.[7]  The gravestone inscription says:

Edmund A. Hoyle

1865 - 1899

H. Rebecca Richmond

His Wife

1858 - 1907

====================================

Hannah Rebecca (Richmond) (Smith) Hoyle (1858-1907) was my great-grand-aunt, the sister of my paternal great-grandfather, Thomas Richman/Richmond (1848-1917).  It appears that she had challenges in her life surviving two husbands and then dying relatively young.  I hope she had lots of love from her family members.
