  	I think this must be the GRO index entry for Alexander - a strange spelling of Alex? (he was recorded as 'Elexander' in the 1861 census) It is the only Smith death recorded in Kingsbridge RD in Q1 1864 GRO ref: SMITH, Ellick q1 1864 Kingsbridge RD 5b 171 (looks to me more like p.111 but as there are other deaths that Q and RD recorded as p.171 but none for p.111 I think the former must be correct) Actual date from grave (buried with his brother John)
  Buried	16 Jan 1864	St. Mary’s Church, Charleton, Devon, England   [2]
  Siblings	4 brothers and 3 sisters
