If the 1871 census is the correct one then the "Smiths" named at the top of census are probably Edwards parents James & Caroline, & Anthony's grandparents.

elliemarie, if you have access to public member trees on Anc* there are a couple of good trees re the Smiths. If you type in Emmanuel Smith, parents James & Caroline 4 trees are available. Of course any info on them will always need to be tested but they do look quiet sound.
