Smith, hard to find???

  we had my hubby's dad's birth certificate today and it shows his grandfather as Edden Smith, great, that's an unusual name, should be easy to look up, but NO, it's not!! I think I've found his birth in 1891 and I know I've found his marriage to Ethel North in 1911, but I can't find him on the 1901 census at all, I've tried various spellings of the name. It looks like he was born in Stratford upon Avon but he married in Nuneaton, I really thought with this name it would make it easier, but we'll just have to save up and order more certificates I suppose!! Just wanted to sound off a bit.......(my ancestry finished yesterday and the certificate came today lol)

Hi, thanks for the offer, but at the moment I have no idea, we only just had the birth certificate of Reginald William John, born 1919, which gave us his parents names, but we will need to order Edden's birth and marriage certificates to get the other names, thanks a lot though
