Smith Parents

[carol46]

Looking for parents of Lilian Smith born 1890 died 1920 Battersea area. She married a Richard Henry Clasby and they had one child Cyril George Clasby. I know It's tricky finding out the surname Smith but any help would be grateful Thanks in advance.

You'll need a bit more groundwork.

Have you obtained the marriage certificate? Who's her father, what names witness etc.

Again if 1911 census is correct

1891 census ref  4388 57 87

Thomas   Smith   Head   Married   Male   27   1864   Silksman in flour mill (Miller)   Cardiff, Glam
Fanny   Smith   Wife   Married   Female   25   1866   -   Cardiff, Glamorganshire, Wales
Thomas   Smith   Son   -   Male   3   1888   -   Cardiff, Glamorganshire, Wales
Lilian   Smith   Daughter   -   Female   1   1890   -   Cardiff, Glamorganshire, Wales
Louisa   Smith   Daughter   -   Female   0   1891   -   Cardiff, Glamorganshire, Wales

Florence went on to marry Alfred Horace Holt 5th August 1917 Battersea.She is aged 26 and records her father as Thomas Smith occ "Miller"

Believe Louisa is Florence as per 1901( recorded as Ferris Smith - image looks like Florrie/1911 as Florence.
