Hi,
My great great grandfather was Maurice SMIDDY.
He was married to a Julia and they had two kids Nellie and Sabina, both born in the 1880s in Wales.
Have you come across any of these names??
Thanks

1.0 Extracts from passport applications
Extracts from two collections of paper Passport Applications (1907-1921) that are at the US National Archives. I have observed that these documents are not yet on Ancestry. About 525 items from the "Emergency Passport Application" filed through the US Embassy in London, England. About 100 items from the "Application by the Wife of a Member of the Naval or Military Forces of the US for a Certificate to Depart for the US."

Hi Ann,
I have not done much on our Smiddy line and have family stories that don't quite seem right. What a surprise!
The story goes that John SMIDDY was very tall and was picked to be one of Queen Victoria's guards when he was 16 yr old. He hated it and after 11 yrs, he supposedly stowed away on a ship for America. He left a wife (Mary Ellen Bowe/Beau) & children. About 1 yr later the wife and children followed. John SMIDDY worked in the coal mines and was killed in an accident about 1860.
Does any of this story seem plausible?
I did find a variety of John SMIDDY's listed as arriving by ship from England & their ages vary.
Family notes say John's father may have been Richard SMIDDY and John's brother was Dave SMIDDY.
All help very much appreciated.
