Hello there.  Not sure if anyone is still researching this family as I see there hasn't been a post here for a couple of years.  I am related to this family through Maria, John and Ursula's daughter.  Her son Henry is my great great grandfather.  From the research I have done, Maria died in 1853, and I am not sure what happened to Henry for the next few years.  He was born in 1844, before Maria and Charles Green married, and although he is on the 1851 census with the name Green, he married in 1867 back under the name Luxton, which he obviously reverted to after his mother's death (I have been unable to find him on the 1861 census).  Charles Green and Henry's sister Harriet both seem to have vanished without trace.

My apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place - I am not too sure if this really counts as a photograph.  The picture is of a birthday card given to my great grandmother by my great grandfather.  They were married in 1907 and he died in 1929, so I am wondering when during that timescale the card dates from.  Many thanks for any help!

I'm trying to find out some more information about my Great Grandfather William Smith who was a professional footballer.  He has a Wikipaedia entry under the name Bill Smith (Edwardian Footballer). He played for Brentford (1912-13), Southampton (1913-14), and Halifax Town (1914-15).  I'm really trying to track down his birth, but there are lots of William Smith's around!  I know that he had died by 1940 when my nan and grandad married. 

My nan had William's signing on papers for Southampton, but she died in 1983, and my dad has no idea where they went after that!

I'd be grateful for any help.
