Background
Lucius Frederick Smith was born on 6 January 1860 into a clerical family. His father was the Reverend Frederick Smith (1823-1874) of Woodleigh Hall, Rawdon,[1] Vicar of Shelf, West Yorkshire.[2] In the Wharfedale area in 1884,[3] Lucius Smith married Lucy Catherine Gibson Bottomley (1863–1937), daughter of Moses Bottomley (born 1829) JP of Rawdon and Susannah Ingham (born 1840). Smith took on the extra names "Moses Bottomley" at the time of the marriage.[4][5] They had two sons Bernard Richard Lucius (later Reverend) and Frederick, and three daughters.[3] Bernard was director of music at the Royal Grammar School, Guildford.[6]
In the paternal line, Lucius Smith's grandfather was Joseph Smith (1792-1841) Alderman and Burgess of Doncaster and his great grandfather William Smith (1767-1829) merchant and property owner in Rotherham and Whitehouse near Greasborough. His Uncle Arthur Joseph Smith (1825-1891) was three times Lord Mayor of Doncaster,[7] another uncle William Edwood Smith was twice Lord Mayor of Doncaster and Town Clerk.[7] His cousin Walter Shirley Shirely QC MP (1851-1888) was elected the first Member of Parliament for the Doncaster Division in 1885 - he too also attended Harrow and Balliol College, Oxford.[8]
Smith was educated at Harrow[9] and Balliol College, Oxford.[10] At Balliol in 1880 he took second class Classical Honour Moderations, and in 1882 he graduated with Bachelor of Arts. Following Oxford, he studied for a year at Leeds Clergy School, and was ordained deacon and priest at Liverpool in 1883. In 1905 he was made Doctor of Divinity.[5]
