Needle in 2 haystacks
My gggfather was born
Joseph William Partridge in Lambeth in 1883, his father died and his mother returned to Northampton and remarried a Smith and Joseph took on this name.
He married as Joseph William Smith a Sophia Willis in Long buckby Northants, sadly his wife died in 1914.
Family talk says he joined the Army and returned to Long Bucky after the war to check the children were ok (they were with Aunts) he then was said to have moved away possibly Rugby.
I would love to solve this one after 4 decades---totally lost
