Hello Colin,

I've had a look at the 1891 census, as it's the nearest year to when William Lee and Florence Smiter may still be with their parents.

I found a possible William Lee, but there is no middle name of Herbert.

Florence Smiter was easier - more unusual name.

The reference is RG12/1502 Folio 28 Page 16
living at 43 Tottenham Street, Great Yarmouth.

SMITER, James W Head Married M 42 1849 Plumber
 SMITER, Mary A Wife Married F 39 1852 Silk Weaver
 SMITER, James H Son Single M 18 1873 Iron Founders Labourer
 SMITER, William Son Single M 17 1874 Barman
 SMITER, Florence Daughter Single F 15 1876 Silk Winder
 SMITER, Ernest Son M 12 1879 Scholar
 SMITER, Albert Son M 10 1881 Scholar
 SMITER, Percy Son M 9 1882 Scholar
 SMITER, Arthur Son M 6 1885 Scholar
 SMITER, Frank Son M 4 1887
 SMITER, Gertrude Daughter F 1 1890

All born Great Yarmouth.

If this is your Florence, there's a marriage entry for her parents on Freereg
http://www.freereg.org.uk/cgi/SearchResults.pl?RecordType=Marriages&RecordID=545494

It gives a lot of detail, which will help, I hope.
