Help Please with Mary Campbell Smith

[dairydairy]

Thank you Rosie, Isobel and John! I was away for the weekend with rubbish broadband, so I only got a chance to see all of the replies this morning. I have to say that it took me a while to figure it all out but it seems, overwhelmingly, that Frederick and Alfred James are one and the same person - but I still can't make out why! Only the 'Fred' part of the name is the same and Frederick was born in Scotland and Alfred in Wales. Why do you think this discrepancy occurred? But, with Mary Campbell Smith's exact date of birth being 4th June 1876 and she was definitely married to Frederick George Wheeler, I can't see how you are anything but right!!

You are all brilliant and so helpful - I am extremely grateful.
