Adam Smith b 1839 Oxfordshire

[Susan Smith]

I am trying to find Adam Smith and family prior to 1881 census his wife is Jane (Jenty) Daughter Emily,  his father may be Adam also,  he resided in the Chertsey, Surrey area in 1881, 1891, 1901.

Later census gives place of birth as Henley on Thames (ADDED also Wolvercote).  It helps us if you give more information from the census that you have including references.

Where and when did he marry and what information is given on the certificate

[Susan Smith]

Yes,  Henley on Thames is correct,  1891 piece 552 Folio 112,  1901, piece 592 folio 44 page 32.   1881 piece 783 folio 17 page 28.

Hope the above helps I am looking fo Adam prior to 1881

Adam Smith   Baptism 3 Mar 1844   Pishill   Adam & Emma (travelling tinkers)

"PISHILL, (or Cuss-hill), a parish in the hundred of Pirton, county Oxford, 6 miles N.W. of Henley-on-Thames,
This might explain why he was not on earlier census returns?

No trace of marriage: Adam died 1906 age given as 68.

Is this Jane I wonder Gantilla Smith born about 1832 died Apr 1906 Chertsey, Surrey

As far as I can see the baptism records for Adam was the only one for Adam & Emma and the same for Genty/Jane. Note they might have been born earlier than the baptism date.
