Hi seagullsurfer
I'll send you a personal message -but do have a look at the postings about Charles Roe SMITH on the Dorset messageboard
I'm interested in the association of your Edward SMITH (1809-1857) with Richard KYRKE (1820-1897) and Richard's wife Priscilla Catherine BILLINGE (1819-1888). I am also interested in Edward's youngest son Henry Kyrke SMITH aka Henry KYRKE SMITH; he doesn't appear in the trees that are posted on the internet.
Just in case you don't have Edward's entries in census returns:
In 1841 Edward SMITH (Brewer 30 yrs, b not Lancashire) living at Bean Street Liverpool with Sarah (30 yrs b Lancashire), Mary (4 yrs b Lancashire), Thomas (2 yrs b Lancashire), Edward [Charles](4 months b Lancashire).
In 1851 Edward SMITH (Brewer 41 yrs Corfe Castle Dorset) living at 21 Devon St Liverpool with wife Sarah (41 yrs b Liverpool), children Mary (13 yr), Thos M[ay] (12 yr), Edward C[harles] (10 yr), Sarah (7 yr), Cathn (5 yr) and Hannah C (1 yr)
In 1861 Sarah SMITH widow (51 yrs, b Liverpool) living at 46 Kensington W Derby, with children Mary (23 yrs), Edwd Charles (20 yrs), Sarah Mary [=May] (17 yrs), Kate (15 yrs), Anne Cozens (11 yrs) and Henry Kirk (9 yrs) with widow Sarah MAY (83 yrs, Southampton)
