Hi freebee
     I have an Albert Edward Smith b.1875/6 in one of my trees. Could he also be one of yours?.
My Albert married Frances Elizabeth Hall who was born at Bowes in Yorkshire.
In 1911 they were living in Sunderland.
I have a bit more if he is yours.

Can't be the 'only' information, surely.

How did you tie the name and address together?
WW1 Enlistment? 
Witness or protagonist on GRO cert?
Newspaper article/ Trade directory/ Telephone entry?

It would depend substantially on his likely age, but why not look at electoral rolls?
In person, at Tinsley area archives.

many thanks for your interest. Albert Edward Smith of 12 Ranskill road Tinsley signed his name on the bottom of my fathers adoption certificate. I have my fathers mother as Margaret Hogg and have been successful in tracing that back and identifying her family (with a lot of difficulty). The adoptive parent was George Freestone of 67 Ranskill road Tinsley and I know all about their family history. I have the original papers which appear to be drawn up by a lawyer but no laywers name, but the signature of Albert Edward Smith at the bottom of the page puzzles me. George Freestone was a locomotive driver for Tinsley Park colliery so I guess Albert Smith worked around that area, I think the houses in Ranskill road were built for the steel works. Was he the father of my father or was he merely a witness? I live in Australia so can't attend anywhere in person, the internet has been my life line many a time.
