Hi,
I am currently researching a branch of my family tree, and am stuck at a George Henry Smart who was born in Riseley in Bedfordshire. He married a Mary, although I have been able to find her surname. I believe he died circa 1936 in orlingbury, Northamptonshire. If anyone is able to pinpoint the Mary he married, and any further information, I would be massively grateful!!
