Family History Beginners Board / Smith - brickwall
« on: Sunday 28 March 04 07:55 BST (UK) »Hi
In my direct line family tree I have
Charles Henry Smith who in 1901 shows as being born in Sydenham Kent 1865 he is 36 and a house decorator married to Sophia and with two children Albert 1897 (my grandfather) and Frank b 1900.
I have my grandfathers birth cert.
In 1881 I can only find one Charles Henry Smith b 1868 Sydenham then living in Deptford - but then he disappears until 1901!
Is Sydenham in Kent or part of greater London - where do I look -I have tried
IGI, BIVR,BMD to no avail - have tried looking for info on the father & mother's details from the 1881 census - brickwall.
Am I missing something very obvious here?
HELP !!
