i think with a name like Smith you need to work back from the marriage cert to find George father and hopefully locate him on the census pre marriage however i not in 1891 he says he was born Leominster not Birmingham :-\

i have found these 2 possible births for him

Births Sep 1852   
Smith    George        Leominster    6a   448    
Births Dec 1852   
Smith    George        Leominster    6a   457
Holman & Vinton- Cornwall, Wojciechowskyj & Hussak- Bukowiec & Zahutyn, Bentley & Richards- Leicester, Taylor-Kent/Sussex  Punnett-Sussex,  Bear/e- Monkleigh Gazey-Warwicks

Toni's missing info.
2Ct. 1 House Proctor St.In other words they lived in the first house in Court no.2 which would be a bak-to-back.

Marriage:James Witton=Susanna Webb/26/12/1837/St.Phillips/B'ham
GRO.ref:Dec/1837/B'ham/16/387

Toni's Leominster birth looks like the offspring of George Smith & Hannah Poulton who are all still in Leominster at least to 1871 where George is aged 20.
George & Clara's marriage is required.
