Thomas Smith Born Leeds c1854
« on: Sunday 03 September 17 14:12 BST (UK) »
I am wondering if anyone can help trace Thomas Smith Born Leeds about 1854 but lived in Aston Birmingham.  I am doing this research for a friend and this is what I have found
Thomas Smith married Amy Billingsley 1879 in Birmingham I have found the records for that.  I have also found a child Thomas John Smith born to them in 1877 before they were married.  I have found Thomas Smith in 1911 living in Cardiff with a new wife named as Annie, I was told he married a Sarah Ann after Amy Billingsley.  There are two children in 1911 William Henry Smith born c1886 (mother was Amy) and Ellen (Mary Ellen born 1893 to Sarah Anne and Thomas. , notes on the 1911 census says they have been married 20 years.  I have found a Thomas Smith in Birmingham with Amy and John Thomas Smith in 1881 but the record says that Thomas was born in Northampton and the 1911 says Leeds Yorkshire, very confusing. I have also found William Henry in Cardiff in 1939 .  There was another son born to Thomas and Amy in 1880  but he died in 1884. but he is not on the 1881 census, if I have the right family.  I cannot find Thomas Smith or any of the family in 1891. Also would like to find Thomas Smith's father but with a common name not much chance.  Thanks for any help.  NEATWHEAT

So you "have an 1879 marriage", yet don't give occupation, nor parent, nor witness names.

You've said nothing about when/where Amy died nor where they should be in 1891?

Then you'll have to purchase it to progress back.

You were also asked for the 1911 in full, yet no kids's birthplaces. and someone's telling porkies about being wed in 1890, or you have the wrong man. I can't see an obvious link between the 1911 head of house and 1881
