All I know is that he is the father of Kate- details already given. Kate was married in 1904 to my grandfather Charles Spratley.. I got Davids name from a copy of the marriage certificate. Have tried looking for them on the cencus ie the Smiths but so far no luck.

Hi both

Any idea where Kate was born? Who were the marriage witnesses? Does the cert give David's occupation?

Hi, Kate was resident in Barkham at the time of the marriage. David was a labourer. One of the witnesses was Harry Smith, the other was another Smith but can't make out the first name. Not much to go on is it.

Needle & haystack problem Undecided

Ah well, back to the drawing board.
Unless aggie s can scan and post the marriage certificate and hope that the other witness has an unusual forename to trace Otherwise, it may be wait for the 1911 census...

Many thanks to all of you who posted replies re Kate & David Smith. I will look further into Annie Kate Smith as one of the witnesses on the marriage certificate could have been Edwin.
