Laura Edith A Smith of Norwich
« on: Saturday 22 October 16 22:19 BST (UK) »
Laura was born Laura Cockrill 1871 in Whelnetham, Suffolk. She married Samuel Kerridge Smith in Norwich in 1890. I have her in Northumberland Street in 1891 and Bond Street in 1911. Samuel died in Norwich in 1929.
They had children all born and died Norwich for those I have found:- Samuel John, B 1890 & D 1962.  Edith Laura, B 1895 - D?  Hilda Mabel B 1898 - D?  Victor George B 1901 & D 1997,  Walter Herbert B 1905 & D 1980,  Clement  B 1907 & D 1986.
Does anyone know when Laura Edith A Smith died, and where also what does the A stand for?
Can anyone help with dates of death for Edith Laura and Hilda Mabel. Not sure if either married, died young or in old age. Many thanks, as Smith is always a difficult name to research.

Hi

A possible marriage for Edith Laura on FreeBMD?

Marriages Jun 1928 
Ralph    Leslie A G    Smith    Norwich    4b   388    
Smith    Edith L            Ralph    Norwich    4b   388

Perhaps not. If this is her death the age is out.

Deaths Mar 1935 
Ralph    Edith L    33    Norwich    4b   154

Regards
Giggsy

Laura Edith A calls herself Edith L in 1911 and there is a 1935 marriage in Norwich for an Edith L Smith to Arthur G Abrahams.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I got muddled between Edith Laura and Laura Edith.
