With so many Wilfred Smith's out there (and I only looked at births 1890-1905) I feel you MUST buy the marriage certificate! ::)
That will have Wilfred's age (hopefully!) and his father's name and occupation.
There are 5 Wilfreds registered in Easington alone, in that period.
And 32 in County Durham and Northumberland.

If you know full details of Ellen have you tried looking from her with Wilfred in 1939 Register?

Perhaps they were no longer in Easington?
Please note that the 1939 Register is not a census!
It's data was collected over many years, from 1939 to 1991, rather than on a specified day.
Records of people younger than 100 and still alive, or who died after 1991 are officially closed.
It also uses the names of councils, rather than towns (because it was the councils who wanted & collected the data?!)
