Charles Smith

[leigh morgan]

Trying to find information about Charles Smith born 1858 Hull Yorkshire.  The only record I have of this is on a 1911 Census.  Charles lived in Chelsea London England with children Harry James, Norah, and Alice and Alice James home duties.  It turns out she is the children's mother.  Charles is a cab driver and a widow.
Hoping someone may know something about Charles Smith

Many thanks

Just searching around trying to find anything, as Charles Smiths from Hull seem to be a bit thick on the ground!

There is a baptism for Norah Mabel, born 19 October 1909 daughter of Charles a Carman and Elsie. of 104 Becklow Road, Fulham
I presume the birth of "your"  Norah in the 1911 is this one?

SMITH, NORAH       JAMES 
GRO Reference: 1909  S Quarter in CHELSEA  Volume 01A  Page 346

which fits with a 19 Oct 1909 birth date.
Do you have the cert pdf?

Norah Mabel (of the baptism) cannot be this one, as clearly born too soon

SMITH, NORAH  MABEL     JONES 
GRO Reference: 1908  J Quarter in UXBRIDGE  Volume 03A  Page 52

So, if Elsie is correct, was she perhaps Alice's sister??
But - so far I don't see a death for Elsie, nor a marriage for Charles Smith and Elsie

Where is Harry James SMITH's birth?   And how do you know his name is Harry James? it's not on the actual image for 1911, only in the transcription for some reason.

Am having trouble with GRO site at the moment. So will post this for now.

Thank you mckha489 and K 99 for your reply.  The only proof I have is the 1911 Census for Harry James Smith it says he was born at Marylebone.  There were other children 2 daughter who died at birth and Albert G who I cannot find a birth for either.  Cannot find Charles before 1911 in Middlesex.
Many thanks
