John Smith (Mr), was born in 1769.
He married a lady known as Ann (or Nanny – most likely Ann Robinson) by 1780 when their eldest child, John, was born in Woking in December and baptised there in January 1781. Between 1784 and 1794 they had at least nine children, five of whom came with them to Frimley.
It is believed they moved to Frimley after Peter Robinson (likely his brother-in-law) purchased land in Yorktown (now Camberley) which was then all part of the Manor of Frimley in 1811. This is at the time when just opposite the land they were building the Royal Military Academy (now RMC). At this time businessmen and their families moved to the area to take advantage of this new income source. It is known that Peter Robinson built at least for shops on this land and it is likely that one of his sons, Thomas, set up in business as a baker here.
It is not clear where John and Ann were living at this time
Their sons John and then Henry, (born in 1794) became landlords of The White Hart in Frimley.
His wife Ann died in Frimley in August 1833 aged 59 and John continued to live in the village. In 1841 he was living with his son Henry at The White Hart in Frimley.
John died on the 10th of October 1847 aged 79 and was buried at St Peter’s on the 13th of October 1847. His wife Ann was the first person buried in this grave followed by Peter and Ann Robinson in 1835, his daughter-in-law Esther (nee Robinson) in 1844. His son Henry was buried in 1850 in Section 1 Grave B14
