Okay this is what I have been able to find.

I am sure that Mary SMITH had died by the time the 1901 Census was taken. Either that or she is hiding well

David was at home until 1881. There is a David SMITH on the 1881 Census at 21 Palmerston Road, Woodstone, Huntingdonshire. He is lodging with the HEMSBY family and his occupation is Railway Shunter Pointsman. The only thing is that he gives his birthplace as Stanground. Don't know if this is close to Farcet or not.

In 1891 he was in London, Islingon, Upper Holloway. He was living at 24 Christies Road with the WALKER family. He is listed as being married, aged 35 and a Railway Labourer, born Farcet, Huntingdonshire.

His marriage to Emma ROBINETT was in Sept Qtr 1889 Peterbro Huntingdonshire.

Here is Emma and the children in 1891

Believe it or not Christmas is transcribed in 1891 as XMAS which made him a bit hard to find. He was with his mother Mary until 1891 :-
